Don't drink the stock!!
They're superb photos, but they'd be even better if you took your foot off
the flash pedal a little.

I have my own private stock on-hand:

It's tasty.
You should give Bowmore legend a try.
I think I shall, if I can find it locally! It looks to cost about the same
amount I paid for the Royal Salute -- which was a deal I'll never get again for
as long as I live, I'm sure. One of our club members had it on a shelf for the
past15 years, or so, (he once owned several bars) and offered to sell it to me
for $40. I, of course, jumped on the offer with both feet -- rather
emphatically.
I've been paying about $20 a bottle for it.
That's not bad at all -- though, I doubt I'd find it that cheap around
here. Kentucky long ago enshrined into law a kickback scheme to line the
pockets of alcohol distributors, which effectively mandates an extra
layer of profit-taking between the consumer and the retailer. It wasn't
that bad until a few years ago, when the state finally passed a liquor
sales tax on top of it.
If you prefer whiskey with a bit less character, I'm fond of Tullamore Dew,
which is my favorite blended Irish.
I haven't had much luck with Irish whiskeys, though I've only tasted the
more common ones -- Jameson, Bushmills, etc. I was never much of a
whiskey drinker at all until I discovered Scotch. Before that, I drank
mostly beer and gin. My palate leans decidedly dry.
