That's called (in Black English) Brown Baggin'. The reason people conceal not only Whiskey, but any alcohol, is because in some localities, it is illegal to drink alcohol in public. Hiding an alcoholic beverage in a brown bag (hence the name) concealed the fact that alcohol was being consumed.
Another take is that many if not most states have laws stating that Alcoholic Beverages must be bagged by the retailer to take them out of the store. Winos and such just left it in the bag, as they started drinking it as soon as they were out the door
