Perhaps, but with the peatiness a little goes a long way, which
in cocktails and blended whiskies might translate into "better
deal." A small tot of heavy Islay would flavor a big pot of
neutral spirit the way a small hambone would a big pot of soup.

Macallan and Glenlivet, no doubt. I enjoy them but favor some
of the Glenmorangie line myself.

Well, if you entrusted it to me, for example, you might not have
anything to fuss about, because you might not have anything.

Other than that, just tell them to keep the top securely on.
