Cool!! I remember seeing that image in the gallery when I first started using maya and always wanted to try and do something like it.

Didn't know thare was a tutorial though, might have saved me loads of messing with the materials. The whisky was a right pain! And i'm still not happy with it, need a good reference but my JD bottle's empty!

Got to say I learnt quite a bit doing it.

The lightings a HDR, a spotlight and 2 x point lights to get the speculars from the liquid and glass.

Cheers for the comments guys!!
