Understanding the Sizes and Capacities of Whiskey Bottles

• Size and Capacity: Miniature whiskey bottles typically have a capacity of 50ml. They are very small and portable.
• Purpose: These are often used as samples, given away as promotional items, or included in gift sets. For example, at a whiskey tasting event, miniature bottles allow consumers to try different varieties without having to commit to a full – sized bottle. They are also convenient for travelers who want to take a small amount of their favorite whiskey with them in compliance with airline regulations regarding liquid carry – ons.

2. Half – Pint Bottles

• Size and Capacity: A half – pint of whiskey is equivalent to 200ml.
