Hopefully, on this basis, we have settled opinions 
Until those who are otherwise persuaded rejoin the encounter.....
Well I felt it necessary to have a wee Wild Turkey in the interim - and very nice it was too 8-) 
I'm on a no-name malt in a plain, clear, labelless bottle..... Perks of knowing someone who drives whisky tankers for a living. 
Guessing Highland, but not too far north. Cask strength, needing a wee lump of ice to wake it up and see it better dressed..... 
That sounds very civilised - enjoy

Had a meeting with the Head POI branch years ago. Got horribly drunk on Cream of the Barley (a favourite of his)
Managed - just - to get to the nearest nick and had them send for my wife who appeared in her three week old car. Just before setting off home I was violently sick and boked out through the open passenger window down the door.
I had to clean up the dried result the following morning before she headed off to an early court but foolishly used a squeegee putting a sizeable scrape onto the immaculate paintwork. I was unpopular to say the least.
Since then I can only drink Bourbon as the smell of any other whisky/ey goes for me.
Happy days :-/
