Whiskers, dram, scotch. Formed by truncating виски (whisky) and adding the highly productive, colloquial suffix -арь (associated with professions, objects, or substances of a specific type). Relaxed, matey term for whisky, often carrying a connotation of a generous pour or a proper drinking session among friends.
А вискарь дерьмо рядом с водкой, носками пахнет.
But compared to vodka whisky is shit, it smells like socks.
(Михаил Веллер, Самовар, 1997)
