Apparently it is half a Stella, a bottle of Smirnoff Ice and, optionally, a double vodka.
Tastes of fuck all and is quite strong. This seems to be a fashion in drinks that i just don't understand. I may be a raging drunk but I at least like my liver-necrosing poison to have some kind of flavour.

the people who buy this young whisky have very little interest in someone bringing out 'real' whisky and saying 'all that other stuff is pish!' so it doesn't happen much.
