In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the device can include a composite container including (i) a flexible inner container, in which a liquid can be provided, and (ii) a form-retaining outer container in which the inner container can be fixed. The device further comprises a tap unit which is connected to the composite container and which comprises an outflow channel and a valve. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention the inner container has a dispensing opening and the outer container is provided with a neck enclosing the dispensing opening. Further, the inner container can be connected to the outer container both at the area of the dispensing opening as well as at a location remote from the dispensing opening. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention the outer container can have an opening for introducing a displacing medium, such as, for example, air, at a location remote from the neck.
