Whiskey Oil Bottle

Today I want to share how I turned an old whiskey bottle into a unique oil dispenser.
I made this Whiskey bottle oil dispenser awhile back. It has become such a staple in our kitchen, we use it practically every day and so I thought it would be a great project to share with you.
We cook with a lot of olive oil in our home, and that is why I buy the huge bottle of it at Costco. It's nice to always have it on hand, but the bottle itself is just too big and heavy to be pouring into a fry pan, so I have always just filled up this little oil dispenser I had.
However, the lid on it was not a tight fit, there would be times when it would actually fall off while I was cooking and I would end up with way more olive oil than needed.
So I searched my cupboards and found this old whiskey bottle. I gave it a good cleaning, removed the labels, and filled it up with olive oil.
I liked the shape of it, and I also liked the bubbled glass letters.
But most of all, I like that the dispenser lid fits it nice and snug.


And so far no one has gotten confused and tried and pour themselves a shot of olive oil.

    Great idea. I am going to use that for my olive oil. I have also used Patron Tequila bottles to store rice, whole peppercorns, pink Himalayan salt, dry beans,etc. They are hand blown glass, nice corks and square so they fit together nicely. They also make great vases.

    Looks great! I keep mine in a wine bottle. Looks like it's time to change up! Funny story i keep some white vinegar in a small tequila bottle in my spice cabinet...someone actually tried to take a nip of it!! Surprise!
