whiskey jugs

Liquor storage vessels

Whiskey jugs are containers for storing or serving whiskey, typically ceramic or glass vessels with a handle and narrow mouth.

The phrase is best known from the pangram "pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs" and similar typing exercises, where it appears simply because it contains useful letters rather than for any cultural significance.
