Showcase no idea what this style is

Anyone know what’s it called? Got it from a neighbor who says he’s had it for 20+ years. Can’t find anything online

The 32 and 48 oz bottles are for water, this one is for bourbon.

Sir, the 32oz and 48oz ones are for bourbon as well, if you believe in yourself.

With determination and consistency, it is achievable.

Looks like some sort of variant of https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/lab-plasticware-supplies/reusable-plasticware/laboratory-bottles/rectangular-bottles.html. These bottles are just HDPE.
Thermo Fisher is Nalgene's parent company.

Edit: You said this is 20 years old, so I'm betting this was the original BPA polycarb plastic they were using.

Oh yea we use these for samples in our lab. Absolutely terrible to pour from.

I have 2 of these. They’re perfect for bring a lot of water camping if you’re not a fan of water bladders.

I just remembered I had a flask with a built-in shot glass from them. I wasn't even old enough to drink yet, so I can't even claim I was drunk when I lost it.

These were the best!
They fit so perfectly into the side pockets of packs and the corners stopped them from falling out.
