Helen, I had to go check our vast (ha) stock re: your question. We have a bottle of Irish whiskey (alas, not Bushmill's, sorry) and a bottle of bourbon; both are in 750 ml bottles.

and 5 times 750 is 3750ml, which is equal to .99 gallons.. so the answer is (thanks to Jackie) Yes.
(i am by no means a teatotaler, but i make a habit not to drink alone, so i rarely have hard liquor in the house--when i am having a party, i tend to by the 2 liter (apx 1/2 gallon!) bottles.. so its feast or famine!)

Not here it isn't.
In NZ, 1 gallon is very nearly 4.5 litres, not 3.8

This is why it is so difficult to compare gasoline prices in the United States with gasoline prices in other parts of the Commonwealth.
