Pretty sure Bells and Irn Bru collaborated on an 'alcopop' a few years back.
Edit: by a few years I mean the late 90s. Getting old.

Irn-Bru? I wholly agree. At that point, the taster has zero credibility and/or credibility.
This is the beverage equivalent of a dry-aged, marbled, fine Wagyu steak cooked to a perfect medium, then covering it in ketchup. Sacrilege.

the worst hangovers I have ever seen were in Scotland after the New Year .. coincidence ? let inquiring minds wonder
I have a bottle of this replica whisky. Got it as a gift last year. I'm not enough of an enthusiast to say much more than "yes, this does taste very good" but I do very much enjoy the story around it.
...and they asked these barbarians about whisky?!
I have never heard of anybody here in Scotland drinking whisky mixed with Irn-Bru, except as a dare. Expensive whisky is drunk neat, or with a bit of water; never with ice. Increasingly, nowadays, you get whisky cocktails. Cheap blended whisky is also drunk neat, or with beer (either side-by-side or as a boilermaker, with the shotglass of whisky dropped into a pint of beer), or with soda water or lemonade.
Irn-Bru is usually drunk with vodka.
