Two fingers of whiskey has been a drink measurement for centuries. The instructive term was first used by thirsty Scots directing bartenders to pour just the right amount of whiskey into a glass. Though not an exact order for any beverage — the liquid tipped into a glass can vary not only due to the size of the glass but also the size of the fingers used as a marker – this splash was Audrey Hepburn's favorite way to enjoy whiskey. 

According to Hepburn's long-time partner Robert Wolders, a finger or two of Scotch was part of Hepburn's daily indulgences. "She didn't diet," Wolders told People. "We had brown bread with jam for breakfast, lunch would be chicken or veal or pasta, often with vegetables from the garden,and for dinner   

we often had soup with chicken and vegetables. She had chocolate after dinner, baking chocolate. She had a finger or two of Scotch at night." J&B Scotch was reportedly her preferred brand. The smooth, smoky notes of J&B Rare Blended Scotch

have been around for centuries and have attracted not only Hepburn's palate but also appealed to thelikesof Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Truman Capote. Sometimes art and life parallel, and just as Hepburn's character asks in "Breakfast At Tiffany's" — "Got any whiskey upstairs?" — we like to imagine Hepburn repeating the same.
