Question?
 

What is this brand of “left over” whiskey you speak of? I ain’t ever heard of that brand before?

Left over whiskey is an oxymoron.

Yep, I’ve never heard of left over whisky or whiskey.

Leftover whiskey? Just save for tomorrow. :D

Slight modification to recipe: Pour whiskey into shot glass and drink

Wise words - it is impossibly difficult to properly define "left over whiskey"

In one of these pictures, you could be down to your last few ounces of brown liquor and it would still not be considered "left over" by any bourbon aficionado worth his weight in whiskey stones...

On the other hand, you could have a full decanter of "Military Special" that only costs 7.95 a bottle - that is only kept in a decanter to impress and serve to snobby ill cultured business associates that you don't actually like - and an argument could be made that it is all "left over whiskey"

...just my two cents

Turn it into empty bottles, of course.

There are those who keep a bottle or a decanter for an "eternity" bottle or a "century" bottle (I've heard it called both).

In short, when there is less than one half inch or so in a bottle, and you don't intend to drink it -- "finish it off" -- and you are aware that while a full or nearly full bottle of whiskey/whisky, if tightly sealed, will stay at full flavor for a year or more ...

... BUT, if there is considerable air above the liquid in the bottle, you will lose aromatic hydrocarbons in addition to ethanol (the kind of alcohol we drink) and the "left overs" will suffer to the point where they may become undrinkable ...

then the thing to do is pour it into a bottle or decanter, and keep adding other leftovers until the bottle is at least 2/3 full. Sure it will be a "blend" but if you start with good whiskey/whisky, it will be a good blend.

I've got friends who have an eternity bottle at the end of the bar. From time to time we will pour a dram and check it out. Some of it is good, some of it is very good.

And the "not so good" can always be put into the barbeque sauce.

:D
