Mutchkin

Mutchkin is a historical unit of liquid volume used in Scotland and parts of Ireland. It was typically equal to one-quarter of a Scots pint, or approximately 0.426 liters (about 14.4 U.S. fluid ounces). The size of a mutchkin could vary slightly depending on the specific location and time period. The term was commonly used for measuring quantities of ale, beer, or other liquids. The mutchkin is now obsolete as a standard unit of measure, having been replaced by metric and imperial units.
