That'd be a gallon of data.

This could be a valid chart, if someone had a use for it. You'd need a Six-Number Summary based on quintiles, instead of quartiles. If someone wanted just the 10% above and below the median, that would be the middle box. If for some reason, you wanted the central 60% instead of 50%, that would be the entire box containing the three smaller boxes.

And if anyone is looking for outliers, have a dram at the bar.

As for as the whiskey bottles go, the labels apper to be three flowers or butterflies or possibly an ancient family crest. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Cheers!
