Leftover cheap and nasty whisky... what to do with it?

[Goldrill]

Just that. We're moving house again soon. Last time (2 years ago), we had 2 full boxes of spirits which DH had accumulated, largely before I moved in with him. They are not moving with us again!

Neither of us normally drinks spirits, but, for the greater good, I have so far disposed of the vodka and the Bacardi. Am getting the hang of dark and stormy for rum, and port and lemon is surprisingly nice.

Nothing can persuade me that the hangover I get from whisky is worth having, especially not for grouse. I don't mind it in the very occasional savoury dish but we do have 3 nearly full (but sadly open) bottles.

Any thoughts on disposal please? Seems a shame to just scop them down the drain (unless they're renowned for that...?!)

Chocolate truffles flavoured with Whisky

Christmas cake / pudding / mincemeat?

Hot whiskey with cloves and a slice of lemon 🍋 is cheering on a chilly day, or a splash in hot chocolate is good, but they are more for wintry weather.
You could make a hot sauce for ice cream by bubbling some butter & soft brown sugar together in a small frying pan, adding a chopped banana per person and a good slug of whiskey, letting it warm through then spooning over vanilla ice cream.
Or peel oranges to get rid of all pith, then slice into rounds, layer in a bowl. Make a syrup with sugar, water and whiskey and pour over the orange slices. Leave in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving.

You could make homemade Baileys? Lots of cocktails online as well

Homemade baileys! I didn't think of that!

Excellent;thanks very much for all the suggestions. I do have a reasonable number of friends prepared to risk a homemade baileys. And I will try soaking fruit for tea bread too.

Whisky sauce!

If it’s that bad and you’re moving house, just pour it away.

Blackberry whisky? Takes a while but it's lovely and also makes interesting cocktails with Prosecco or Cava..

I make this regularly, the recipe is for bourbon but whisky would work too. I use half the recommended amount of mustard.

I'd love a free bottle, I don't mind cheap as I mix it all anyway! Shame you're not in London

Barbecue sauce

Whiskey liqour. Add a load of blackberries/sloes/plums/damsons/whatever and a load of sugar and leave it for a minimum of 3 months or up to several years. It will taste delicious.

Whisky is a spirit, full of alcohol.
What makes you think it is BBF date.

It will last forever. Pour and enjoy.

Honestly what a waste to not drink the fekking thing if it smells ok, which it will.

Theo Randall’s soft flourless chocolate cake
Serves 8

Ingredients
400g 70 per cent chocolate, broken up
6 eggs, separated
150g caster sugar
300ml double cream
50ml whisky

Method
1 Preheat the oven to 150C/gas 2. Grease a 20cm round cake tin and line with baking parchment.
2 Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of hot water (the bottom of the bowl should not be in contact with the water). Remove from the heat and set aside to cool a bit.
3 Whisk the egg yolks with 100g of the sugar until pale in colour and increased in volume. In another bowl whip 150ml of the cream with the whisky until it makes soft peaks.
4 Whisk the egg whites until frothy, then gradually whisk in the remaining sugar. Keep whisking until the whites are light and glossy and will make soft peaks when the whisk is lifted out.
5 Stir the melted chocolate and the remaining unwhipped cream into the yolk mixture. Fold in the whipped cream and whisky, then gently fold in the whisked egg whites. Pour into the prepared tin.
6 Set the tin in a bain-marie (the water level should be right up to the rim of the cake tin). Bake for 45-60 min, until the cake feels firm on the top, but still has a slight wobble in the middle. Remove the tin from the bain-marie and leave to cool in the tin on a wire rack.
7 Serve the cake with crème fraîche or mascarpone cream.

@StatementKnickers omg, I have died and gone to Heaven just reading that.

Gargle it to guard against “the corona”!

Seriously, though, who is buying you whiskey knowing you and your OH don’t like it?!

@CurlyhairedAssassin I bought a bottle of cheap 'medicinal' whiskey just in case.....It was drunk by anon before it had time to be used in a toddy

Wrong time of year but I put it in the Christmas cake if any one gives us rubbish stuff.

My husband would drink it providing it’s not teachers
He hates that

Can you use it to make hand sanitizer?
