Packing Spirits into Checked Luggage for Flight

[jlo mein]

So under new flight regulations, liquids are not allowed into carry on bags, it must go in your checked luggage. I have a friend going to Illinois for two weeks, and asked him to bring back two bottles of rum for me (live in Vancouver, Canada).

He will be putting the bottles into his checked luggage that includes all his clothes and personal items. I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how these glass bottles of rum should be packed?

I think all of these suggestions for packing wine in checked luggage would apply.
