An apparatus for containing and dispensing fluids comprises a collapsible, fluid-tight bag having an bag internal volume for storing fluid and at least one opening thereto, dispensing mechanism positioned one opening of the at least one opening for selectively dispensing fluid from the collapsible, fluid-tight bag; and a rigid container having a container internal volume and a partition to divide the container internal volume into a first chamber and a second chamber, the partition having an opening, the dispensing mechanism extending through the opening and secured in the opening, the collapsible, fluid-tight bag positioned in the first chamber, wherein the second chamber is removable. The bag is formed of a flexible plastic material. The dispensing mechanism is a spigot that has a neck mechanically coupled to the opening of the bag, whereby the spigot is in fluid communication with the container internal volume. A method of making a container for shipping and dispensing bulk liquids comprises the steps of manufacturing a container having a protective housing and a main housing with an opening therebetween, the protective housing forming a protective internal cavity, the main housing forming a main internal cavity, the protective housing is removable; positioning a fluid-tight, collapsible bag inside the main housing, the fluid-tight, collapsible bag having a dispensing apparatus; filling the fluid-tight, collapsible bag with a liquid; extending the dispensing apparatus through an opening in a surface of the main housing to make the main internal cavity to be in fluid communication with the protective internal cavity with a dispensing mechanism and passing the dispensing mechanism through the opening to extend from the first chamber into the second chamber; closing the container whereby it can be stacked or shipped without damaging the dispensing apparatus; and selectably removing the protective housing.
