The glass is actually filled with 18y Highland Park, and not MacAllan.
The bottle looks a lot better at higher resolutions, and looked somewhat blurry when scaled down because of the label texture, so I used an unsharp mask to bring back some definition, other than that, it's right off the camera.

The original image I submitted was overly bright and washed-out, unfortunately I seemed to have over-corrected the gamma, even more-so than I thought judging from a couple of the comments, when I resubmitted.
[re kiwipix]: I liked how the glass was split by the shadow, although I would have liked a little more to the left as well, if I had it to do over again. The shadow falling on the bottle I agree isn't nice, and I tried to minimize its distraction (unfortunately, the table used isn't much bigger than what's pictured, and there is a hole in the the table which you can see through the bottle's bottom, which limitted positioning). I was also trying to keep the glass and bottle aligned so that their shadows merged on the table.
YES.....NOW THAT"S NOT FAIR! I have an image here that I want to win too....Excellent.......love the light....particularly how the bottle/glass are framed! I'd give it an 11 if it were vodka!
Good luck!
