This is a brown glass bottle given the look of a filthy, aged ceramic whiskey jug with just a little paint and dirt. Your read that right--dirt. I embellished this bottle to hold the whiskey for this year's Halloween party. Each of our liquors and mixers was given a unique and spooky or gross-sounding title. (This one was tame by comparison) This bottle started out life as a Mississippi Mud Black and Tan bottle. I have one of these bottles and it has seen quite a lot of use but the paint/dirt layer mimicking the unglazed ceramic section has remained in tact despite being handled a lot.

First I was automatically drawn in By "Bilge Water Bottle" Neat way to spruce
up a bottle, I will make a "Grog" Bottle this way. If you are interested in marketing
such a product, I could supply 100% pure Bilge Water for Free!

This would be a perfect way to contain grog, I totally agree! My husband is an aficionado of pirate culture and this would be greatly appealing to him. I'll have to make one for his grog too!
