The imperfect but perfect crooked neck bottles of Prichard’s Distillery
If there’s one thing that’s noticeable from Prichard’s Distillery, it would be their crooked neck bottles. Is there any reasoning as to why the bottlenecks produced by the distillery are crooked?

The bottle was around 200 years old and in relation to what the distillery produces (rum and whiskey), it reminded Prichard of how the drinks were a staple back then. Together with all the flaws and imperfections, the crooked neck bottle became the perfect bottle for the distilleries traditional American spirits.
