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.

[re Thi] por que dizes que sou norte-americano?

Like the concept but hate the glass shadow on the bottle. I feel also the need to take 2 steps to the left so the glass has the gold wall as b/g

Really like the color of the table, wall, and bottle together. Find the glass distracting, taking away from the clean lines of the rest of the shot.
