At the risk of carrying this topic far away from its beginnings, we actually invited passengers to the flight deck on long charter flights (with 2,5-3hrs flying time) as a kind of inflight entertainment once food and newspapers had been exhausted. Showed off how the instrument panel lit up when we used the warning light test or how the aircraft could talk testing the ground proximity warning. Most passengers only had a brief look round and the inevitable "how do you know what all the buttons do" but about 5-10% of conversations would be interesting with good questions or stories. Sometimes we even made impromptu invitations to bright teenagers to take the jumpseat for landing. Those were the days, inconceivable today.

I think the whiskey label was far enough outboard not to be noticed easily. I don't recall ever been asked about it.
