1. A fluid container comprising: an outer shell including a plurality of sidewalls forming a hollow interior, a first one of the sidewalls having an opening formed therein and a first flap extending therefrom, the first flap having a retention feature formed therein; andan inner liner disposed within the hollow interior of the outer shell configured to receive and store a fluid, the inner liner including a spout providing fluid communication with an interior thereof; wherein the first flap includes at least one fold line about which the first flap is folded upon itself to position the retention feature in substantial alignment with a portion of the opening formed in the first one of the sidewalls, the opening and the retention feature cooperating to receive and support the spout in a position extending outwardly from the first one of the sidewalls. 2. The fluid container according to claim 1, wherein the outer shell is formed from a one-piece corrugated blank. 3. The fluid container according to claim 1, wherein the retention feature is a circular opening. 4. The fluid container according to claim 1, wherein the retention feature is a semi-circular notch formed adjacent an edge of the first flap. 5. The fluid container according to claim 1, further comprising an annular array of slits formed in the first one of the sidewalls extending generally radially outwardly from the opening. 6. The fluid container according to claim 1, further comprising an annular array of slits formed in the first flap extending generally radially outwardly from the retention feature. 7. The fluid container according to claim 1, wherein the outer shell includes a second flap extending from a second one of the sidewalls opposite the first one of the sidewalls, the second flap including at least one slit formed therein. 8. The fluid container according to claim 7, wherein the outer shell includes a third flap extending from a third one of the sidewalls adjacent the first one of the sidewalls, the third flap including a handle portion with a tab extending therefrom, the tab configured to be received in the at least one slit formed in the second flap. 9. The fluid container according to claim 7, wherein the outer shell includes a third flap extending from a third one of the sidewalls adjacent the first sidewall, the third flap including a handle portion with a tab extending therefrom, the tab configured to be received in a slit formed in the first flap. 10. A fluid container comprising: an outer shell including a plurality of sidewalls forming a hollow interior, a first one of the sidewalls having a first flap extending therefrom, wherein the first flap has a retention feature formed therein, and an opening is formed in at least a portion of the first one of the sidewalls; andan inner liner disposed within the hollow interior of the outer shell configured to receive and store a fluid, the inner liner including a spout providing fluid communication into an interior thereof, wherein the spout is positioned to extend through the opening formed in the at least portion of the first one of the sidewalls and the first flap includes at least one fold line about which the first flap is folded upon itself to position the retention feature around at least a portion of the spout, the opening and the retention feature cooperating to support the spout in a position extending outwardly from the first one of the sidewalls. 11. The fluid container according to claim 10, wherein the retention feature is a circular opening having at least one slit extending radially outwardly therefrom. 12. The fluid container according to claim 10, wherein the retention feature is a semi-circular notch formed adjacent an edge of the first flap. 13. The fluid container according to claim 10, wherein the opening formed in the at least one of the first one of the sidewalls and the first flap is generally key-hole shaped. 14. The fluid container according to claim 10, further comprising a slit formed in the first flap and extending generally radially outwardly from the opening. 15. The fluid container according to claim 10, wherein the outer shell includes a second flap extending from a second one of the sidewalls opposite the first one of the sidewalls, the second flap including at least one slit formed therein. 16. The fluid container according to claim 15, wherein the outer shell includes a third flap extending from a third one of the sidewalls adjacent the first one of the sidewalls, the third flap including a handle portion with a tab extending therefrom, the tab configured to be received in the at least one slit formed in the second flap. 17. The fluid container according to claim 15, wherein the outer shell includes a third flap extending from a third one of the sidewalls adjacent the first one of the sidewalls, the third flap including a handle portion with a tab extending therefrom, the tab configured to be received in a slit formed in the first flap. 18. The fluid container according to claim 15, wherein the outer shell includes a third flap extending from a third one of the sidewalls adjacent the first one of the sidewalls and a fourth flap extending from a fourth one of the sidewalls opposite the third one of the sidewalls, each of the third flap and the fourth flap including a handle portion with an aperture formed therein, the third flap including a tab formed adjacent the aperture formed in the third flap and extending to overlay a portion of the fourth flap when the fluid container is assembled. 19. The fluid container according to claim 10, further comprising a security collar releasably coupled to the outer shell, the security collar including a aperture formed therein to receive the spout of the inner liner and support the spout in a position extending outwardly from the first one of the sidewalls. 20. A method of forming a fluid container, the method comprising the steps of providing a blank including a plurality of panels, a first one of the panels having an opening formed therein and a first flap extending from the first one of the panels, wherein the first flap has a retention feature formed therein;arranging the panels to form an outer shell having a hollow interior;disposing an inner liner in the hollow interior of the outer shell, the inner liner including a spout providing fluid communication with an interior thereof, wherein the spout is positioned to extend through the opening formed in the first one of the panels; andfolding the first flap upon itself to position the retention feature around at least a portion of spout, the opening and the retention feature cooperating to support the spout in a position extending outwardly from the first one of the panels.
