When we think of a drink that someone would want to have a good time, whiskey is favored by many. Why not celebrate a good time with something that speaks of classic style. Full of vintage charm with a dash of modern shine, this pewter whiskey set from the geniuses at Mullingar Pewter allows anyone to enjoy their favorite whiskey with charming style! Made in Ireland, the set includes an 8-ounce hip flask that is hand-engraved with lovely Celtic Knot designs, two shot glasses, and one measure. The shape of the hip flask is practical and genius in its unique design. Quite the practical piece. The curvature and shape of the hip flask is meant to be formed to the person’s hip in a discrete manner, hence the name hip flask.
The hip flask is meant to be purchased with no contents of alcohol, with the owner filling it up themselves. The two shot glasses will make it easier and more convenient to serve your favorite whiskey from the hip flask. When we think of whiskey, we think of its rich, beautiful brown color; varying from a pale gold to a dark amber. The word “whiskey”, is anglicized from the Gaelic term “uisce beatha”, meaning “water of life”. At one point, Irish whiskey was considered to be one of the most popular spirits in the world. At a point during the 1890s, Ireland had over 30 whiskey distilleries. It spoke volumes of its taste and quality.
Although there was a decline in distilleries, the Irish whiskey has made a resurgence within the last quarter century. There has been significant growth of them in Ireland. Even though it has not reached past peak numbers, there are now 18 whiskey distilleries in Ireland, with many more of them to come. It goes to show that there will always be a demand for great Irish whiskey. The Celtic Knot patterns appeared in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD and can be seen in mosaics that would be found on many of the floors in Ancient Rome. By the advent of the 7th Century, the Knotwork pattern that would be found in Italy and present day France, made its way to Ireland.
Today, the Celtic Knot has become a symbol of love and friendship, that could also be found many different forms of jewelry and furniture. All four of the pieces are made of polished pewter and made in Ireland. Packaged in a compact cherry wood box with protective, soft, rich red velvet lining, Gaelic Whiskey Set by Mulligar Pewter makes an excellent gift for someone who loves classic elegance with a fresh touch! Whether it is for a birthday or for the holidays, the set is going to be greatly loved and appreciated. Invite your friends and family for a good time with the Gaelic Whiskey Set by Mulligar Pewter. It is a classic set, that will serve you for many years to come. Drink to your health with this quality piece.

Gaelic Whiskey Set by Mulligar Pewter reviewed by Jane
I ordered the Gaelic Whiskey Set by Mulligar Pewter to celebrate my son's 21st birthday. The set came with a flask, two pewter shot glasses and a funnel. It arrived in a wooden box with a red lining. My son loved this gift. The look on my son's face said it all. His Irish eyes were definitely smiling.There is no doubt he will treasure this set for years to come. We celebrated at Thanksgiving since he turned 21 the following Monday and was going to be away at college. My son took his gift set with him visiting family at Thanksgiving and was rewarded with some very special whiskey. His uncle broke out a reserved bottle that is no longer in production to honor his birthday. In addition to the set, I can not say enough about the service I received from Robert when I phoned in to order the set from Shamrock Gift. I asked if the flask could be engraved in time for my son's birthday and still arrive on time. Although we were not able to engrave the flask, he offered to be sure to mail it out the next day so I wouldn't have to pay expedited shipping costs. Due to a technical error the set didn't make it out on Saturday as expected, but Monday Robert called to apologize and tell me he shipped it overnight by Fed EX so I would receive it in time. I tried to discourage Robert from going through the expense and trouble of overnighting the package as I ordered it so close to the time I needed it. I didn't think it was fair Shamrock Gift should pay for my last minute gift idea. Not only was my shipping completely free, they also gift wrapped at no cost! Robert could not have been more pleasant or accommodating. Thank you for the terrific merchandise along with service that was above and beyond my expectations.

Classic Celtic
I shopped for some time for an "Irish Flask." Most of what I encountered were decorated in a tasteless fashion. The bound flask was quite obviously different. The visual image of the Black and Tan was one of understated class and taste. I found it to be fashionable and representative of my Celtic Origins. I am pleased with my purchase and am proud to display it in every venue. Thomas P. Rooney

Gift for my irish lass
the flask was something she saw at an irish gift shop in Ogunquit, Maine. She remarked about about the item but at the time we already spent so much in the store that we said "next time". Fast forward to March - on went online and found it. The terms were right and I bought it. Fast shipping. Great transaction. She was thrilled to get it for her birthday. Thanks! Rob in NJ
