George,

I'm not knocking the measured spouts altogether, particularly since they're 
your main system of volume control.  They seem to work okay overall, though 
I've noticed they lose accuracy when the bottle is low or if you rotate the 
bottle too quickly.  But surely you can see my complaint with using them in 
combination with a jigger - it's redundant!  If I'm going to measure into a 
jigger than why not use spouts that pour freely?  It's particularly annoying 
when I'm pouring a double or triple shot for multiple drinks and I have to 
keep rotating the bottle to get the next shot.  I can see how you might prefer 
the measured spouts instead of the jigger since it allows you to pour with 
both hands - but with a jigger in hand they just slow me down.
