We can imagine the guy who’d buy The Flask. He favors scotch, and believes that one day he might have to take down an Osama bin Laden type before savoring a swig, thus requiring a pocket vessel that can stop a bullet. Fortunately, Macallan Distillers and sunglass giant Oakley collaborated on a flask that wraps a laser-welded steel core with a carbon-fiber composite and aerospace-grade anodized aluminum. Don’t tell our guy that when defying death, it’s the scotch itself that should make him feel indestructible—”not the flask.” And don’t mention that bin Laden’s actual killer carried a simple water bottle.
