There are some things that never really go out of style. Vinyl records. Vintage Airstreams. Well-made barware that feels like it belongs in both a 1960s cocktail lounge and a modern campsite.
That’s the idea behind High Camp’s newest limited-edition release, Vintage Spirits, a collection of Parkside Flasks that takes its inspiration from mid-century design and the kind of everyday objects that seem to age gracefully rather than wear out.
Set to launch July 30th, the collection features three retro-inspired colorways with names that sound like they belong in a classic sitcom cast: The Shirley, The Daphne and The Francis. Each is available in both a Standard Edition and a limited Artist Edition.
If you’ve followed High Camp before, you know the company has built a reputation for creating outdoor drinkware that doesn’t look like it belongs in a tackle box. Their products tend to blur the line between functional gear and thoughtful design, which has helped them develop a loyal following among whiskey drinkers, wine lovers and cocktail enthusiasts who spend as much time outdoors as they do around the home bar.
The Parkside Flask has become one of the brand’s signature pieces. Unlike the old-school metal flask that typically holds a few ounces of whiskey, the Parkside is designed more as a portable entertaining system. It was built for sharing a favorite bourbon around a campfire, pouring cocktails at a picnic or bringing a bottle of wine along for a sunset gathering.
The new Vintage Spirits editions lean heavily into nostalgia without feeling gimmicky. The colors and styling capture that warm mid-century aesthetic that’s become increasingly popular in everything from home décor to classic cars. It’s the kind of flask that sparks conversation before anyone even takes a sip.
What makes the release particularly appealing is that it doesn’t feel like outdoor gear pretending to be stylish. Instead, it feels like a design object that just happens to be rugged enough for the outdoors.
At $139 for the Standard Edition and $149 for the Artist Edition, these aren’t impulse purchases. They’re more in the category of thoughtful gifts for the person who already has a shelf full of bottles and appreciates the accessories that go with them.
Whether it’s a housewarming gift, a holiday surprise or simply an excuse to upgrade your own bar cart-to-backyard setup, the Vintage Spirits collection proves that sometimes the best new products are inspired by the past.
After all, as High Camp puts it, they don’t make them like they used to. So they did.
