Aged & Ore Bottle Flight
Elevating Whisky Travel
If you’re like me and appreciate the finer things in life, traveling with a bottle of single-malt whisky is a must. But, let’s face it, traveling with whisky can be a bit of a challenge. Stainless steel flasks are a common go-to, but they don’t always preserve the taste of your favorite spirit. Plastic bottles? Well, they’re not exactly ideal either. Glass bottles, the preferred choice for whisky, come with their own set of risks in your luggage. That’s where Aged & Ore comes in.
I recently had the chance to test out their 750ml Travel Decanter, along with their Bottle Flight, on a journey through India and Thailand. Today, let’s focus on the Bottle Flight.

A Seamless Travel Companion
I had reservations about carrying what amounted to 400ml of whisky in my hand luggage. I expected questions, maybe even a showdown at airport security. Surprisingly, it never happened, except for one minor hiccup at Hyderabad Airport.
The security officer was understandably curious when he saw the bottles. He asked what was inside, and I nervously replied, “Liquid to drink.” He then asked, “Alcohol?” I nodded, and he examined the measurements. The only issue was that the measurements were marked in ounces, not milliliters. It’s worth suggesting that Aged & Ore include both ounces and milliliters on the glass for future batches.
Apart from that, I breezed through multiple screenings in various airports, from Austin to Srinagar. In fact, my flight attendant on an Indian Airlines flight was so impressed by my whisky flight that she brought me a glass from first class for a proper photo shoot!

The Aged & Ore Bottle Flight is incredibly compact, fitting easily into my camera bag and even the seatback pocket in front of me. This allowed me to enjoy different whiskies throughout my flight. The glass marker included helped me label each bottle, ensuring I never mixed up my favorites.
