    Whatever the glassblower has handy should be the correct answer.
    I can imagine it loosing its bright shiny look over time though.

    Obviously fired from a 'Boer' voorlaaier. No rifling on the bullet. Dead give away.

    nope, straight shot of the good stuff on this occasion, however, the right whiskey with the right amount of water rises to another level, the water subdues the "fire" and allows the palate to really get all the flavours. I didn't believe it either until I tried it, it was a revelation. That being said, mostly I drink my malts neat....
