A small drinking jug or pitcher, especially one used in Ireland for serving whiskey or other spirits.
From Irish Gaelic 'cruiscín' (little jug or pot), with '-een' as the Irish diminutive suffix that entered English through contact with Irish speakers.
This word carries Irish cultural weight—'cruiskeen' appears in the Irish song 'Cruiskeen Lawn' (1850s), where it becomes a symbol of Irish hospitality and the drinking culture.
