Nice, simple strobist setup.
Resulted in a great picture!

I don’t know what’s more tempting in your setup – the bottle of delicious, honey and vanilla bottle of Balvenie or second Nikon flash I lack at this time.

Awesome anatomy of the photo, great result.
P.S. If you like Balvenie try Cragganmore or Macallan French Oak

Good illustration on how you can do a lot with basic hardware. With a great result. And one of my all time favourite whiskies as well.

a couple more things I’d try are:

1. using a long light source coming from the side, to give a nice wine-like lighting on the bottle’s right side (given that you do eliminate the reflections from the window on the bottle).

2. placing the bottle on a glass surface, illuminating it form the bottom, letting the light disperse inside the bottle (and enjoying a nice reflection of the bottle on the surface).

I really like the results you got from that back light. The lit strip is awesome.

Hmm… how much more empty? Should I mail it out to you so you can show me exactly? ;-)

Only that the bottle should be a little more empty ;)
