I have a serious related question. I have one of those old Soviet surplus flasks with the Lenin head on the side and on the screw-on cap. I recently filled it with bourbon for my motorcycle ride to dry areas of UT and forgot to bring it. I just drank it the other night and the bourbon looked a lot darker than normal. Previously I had only ever had vodka in that flask. Do steel flasks do something to bourbon? Tasted ok, but looked a little suspect.
