There's a very simple cocktail known as the Whisky Mac, allegedly invented in India during the Raj, but more likely in Glasgow pubs. Basically equal parts Whisky and Green Ginger Wine (either Stones or Crabbie's). And drunk room temperature, or with an ice cube or two or even hot.

So here's the question. Is there a name for the same drink but made with other whiskies such as Irish, Canadian, Bourbon, etc? Any other cocktail uses of Ginger Wine? Given the Dark and Stormy, you'd think that something could be made with a med or dark Jamaican Rum as well. 

After  a party at Christmas, somebody left behind a mostly full bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label and another bottle of J&B. The wife needed green ginger wine for some cooking recipe and then starting having a small sherry glass or two. The end result is that the Whisky Mac been a fairly common fri/sat night drink in the Bond household. Especially as the weather hasn't been great and the Whisky+Ginger is really warming in front of a wood fire.
