• Ok...this might not seem so exciting to some people, but I'm proud to be working with the company that made this product...Liberty Bottleworks!

    The 'mystery' item is indeed a bottle...but not just your run of the mill, stinky, throwaway plastic, screen printed bottle.
    Liberty Bottleworks make the best aluminium drinks bottles in the world.
    These are the ONLY American made metal bottle on the market.
    They are the only bottle to be made from recycled materials, and are fully recyclable themselves.
    Both the bottles themselves and every process involved in their manufacture is completely BPA free.
    They are the only bottle to be approved by the FDA...surpassing even stainless steel bottles in that respect.
    Their flexible food grade coating isn't porous unlike bare metal bottles, so won't stain, or pick up flavours or bacteria.
    Their shape is designed to mimic the perfect pouring action of a wine bottle.
    Unlike almost every other bottle which require the caps to be screwed, and screwed, and screwed each time you need a drink they use a Pat pending cap which uses no threads, and locks into place with only a quarter turn...the neck is also ice cube friendly.
    The company itself is committed to keeping their products as 'green' as they can, even going so far as to source custom artwork from local artists to decorate their bottles, with profits then being shared with the artists.
    They have developed in conjunction with a printing company in the states a process of printing which allows an almost infinite number of colours, and tiny details to be reproduced perfectly on the bottles using some pretty amazing cyclindrical printers. They even had special inks developed for them which would be BPA free but unlike regular screen printing won't chip or flake.

    The company rightly takes huge pride in both their products and their working methods, and I for one can truly appreciate that.

    Obviously I took full advantage of the limitless colour options by having black on black. :]
    I went with a matte black bottle and a gloss black print, which looks as stealthy as my bags!
    I didn't intend these to be used on the bike, more as just a really nice quality bottle to keep in your bag, or on your desk etc.
    They are a 24oz size.
    I'm really happy to have these bottles available...I hope at least some of you like them! :]
    I tried my best to take a pic with my phone, but as expected, it came out a bit shit...but at least you get the idea. :]

    There is a good write up on the bottles by ITS tactical here.

    And a nice piece here on the custom printing techniques Liberty use.

    Anyone on the original list gets first refusal on the bottles for £16 as mentioned before...if you were on the list and have now changed your mind, please edit it for me.
    Thanks!
    ^ This is my Christmas present from DJ. Bit early but hey. It is a thing of beauty. I love it! Well done Scott and thanks to DJ for securing one for me. x
