I would probably bring her down to 100 proof or so and would be fine with that.

There is a lot of Lagavulin in it. I am also smoking an Arturo Fuento Anejo that matches well with it. When all of the White Horse is gone we'll be drinking the Glenmorangie Signet.

That's a lovely way to start off the evening, regardless of what follows afterwards. I remember well the 1951 (and the 1961 released around the same time).
