So, has anybody recognized what rot-gut M is chugging down while writing Bonds obituary?

John Drake · August 2012

Too dark to see properly. Label looks mostly plain white with bronze edge so it could be a Macallan. They're pushing their brand at the moment. They've already had an Annie Leibovitz photo-shoot with Kevin McKidd pulling fancy women while drinking their stuff. Wouldn't surprise me if the Macallan turned up as product placement.

Macallan is a good possibility because they're more focused on premium and marketing than actual quality. They're not bad, just overhyped and overpriced.

If anyone's pouring a glass? Yes please! Its been a tough day.

Personally I recommend Aberlour. Nice taste, good blend and its usually a sensible price.

I thought M preferred bourbon?

Ah, but you are referencing Goldeneye Mini G! So that leaves the question of this M is that M or another M altogether, since we have had no clairification if this M is that M. If this M is not that M, her tipple could be something completely different. Unless of course this M IS that M but she may have decided to change brands of W. Even something beginning with M? Em, it may be clarified in SF?

Forgive me, I am re-reading the novelisation of "Yes Prime Minster" at the moment. Hence I go a bit Sir Humphrey.

Surprised J&B whisky never paid their way into a Bond film. Especially with those initials. And the fact they regularly appeared in movies throughout the 70's.

I thought they were only in Italian crime and horror films, though!

You've got a point. Does M exist continuously as if Bond never changes despite the changes, thus the character builds from Bond to Bond, or did only the actor of M stay and we are to assume a reboot behind M as we know her as well?

And oddly enough the party never got going in the Italian Emanuelle series until somebody started handing out the J&B. Would love to know who was doing their marketing in the 1970's!

J&B Whisky was if my memory serves me on the Umbrella/Parasols that the Land Rover crashes into in the pre-credits if The Living Daylights. Don't know if it was a paid for product placement or not though.

The shape and the label match with Macallan sherry oak.

And I believe the scriptwriters made a mistake with that as well - it looks suspiciously like a bottle of Jack Daniels to me & that isn't a bourbon it's a sour mash whisky.

cmdr_bond_007 · October 2012

It's not Jack Daniels because there is no black label and the color is not dark enough. Looks more like an aged Scotch of some kind?

Agree it is Macallan. I blew up the picture two times and it definitely is Macallan!
