All in the same glass. Tequilla, gin, vodka, rum, triple sec, sour mix and a bit of Coke for color. It's Long Island Iced Tea.
There is a bourbon called Larceny which tastes a lot like Makers 46.

The current Pope apparently likes whisky, calling it "the real holy water."
You say that like it's a bad thing ..
Only if it's odd order.
Even order distortion is known to be enjoyable in reasonable amounts.
The last of a bottle of 11-year old Havana Club dark rum we brought back from Cuba. Smoothest rum I’ve ever tasted; absolutely no alcohol bite. Apparently this was Fidel’s favorite. And it’s true, they keep all the good stuff for themselves.
At a Japanese-style cocktail bar. Lots of wood panels and giant JBLs. A fabulous Dark and Stormy.
Edit: and an even better shochu + umeshu + calvados cocktail aged for over a year in a barrel. I was bracing for a sickly sweet-sour taste with umeshu, which I often find unbearable but this was not found here.

Anyone ever use dishwashing soap and a sponge with a glencairn? Ever since I poured a peated whiskey, the peat has lingered despite multiple washes with filtered water (we have a dispenser), and it intrudes on my unpeated stuff (especially the glorious buttercream, honey and cola syrup of the Craigellachie).

How about some Serrano infused vodka? Take a tiny slice of a Serrano pepper, a slice of onion, kosher salt and cover with vinegar in a small glass. Give it 1 minute in the microwave and let it sit until cool. Add a piece of the onion to vodka on the rocks and drink cold vodka with heat. The onion will be very hot if you eat it.
A gift from an uncle just getting into whiskey (bought a case of this stuff). Very weird and processed. Smells like nail varnish and cheap pine like you find in Ikea. I went back to the (rapidly-dwindling) Craigellachie after - that dark chocolatey, butterscotch popcorn-y, wholemeal-y, herbal, lime and blackcurrant jam gift that keeps on giving.
My reference book on Malt Whiskies (MacClean) gives the following tasting notes for the 'Auchie':-

Delicate, fruity and zesty as new-make, with a floral-fragrant, light cereal and citric nose when mature. Smooth mouth-feel, sweet, then dry with roast almonds, fruits and butterscotch. Short finish.
Sounds rather nice.
