Drambuie is nasty in itself - I cannot begin to imagine the death serum 
it must make when mixed with scotch.  That aside, one need not mix up 
said serum using *good* scotch.  Some Seagrams of Lord Barry should do 
the trick, I'd say.  Leave the 30-year MacAllan out of that.  You know 
that stuff is going for something like $2K/bottle now?  It's like the 
Louis.  Love the Louis.  I never got to try that 125 year Hennessy. 
Imagine.... drinking a cognac that was casked just 20 or so years after 
the Civil War.
