Are we into the final set of 5 guesses yet? I have a guess that I would like to make, but don't want to waste a question on a non-free guess.

Yes, final 5. I suspect someone will get it. I will also add as a free hint in response to DT's question that this person was born in Scotland.

Nice one. I was thinking it would be some sort of well-known consumer product but had Cadbury in mind

I was considering him as well, but Birmingham is not in North West England.

I should also note that I was busy today and I was also kind of hoping that my "streak" would end sooner or later, but this is one that I would not have gotten anyway.

I personally don't drink alcohol; I'm not sure how I ended up being the winning guesser on both Johnnie Walker and Captain Morgan.
