>>I am giving some away, to guests and friends, and we do empty some quantity, but most of it is left for later. Doesn't lose anything by being stored in glass indefinitely.
I have Russian immigrant acquaintances who make their own Vodka. They serve it copiously in small glass boots that apparently mean something. I hate to imagine the long chain alcohols in that stuff as it climbs the side of the glass to escape. I've seen grown men in trouble after a few boots, as the Russians look on with benign expressions. Is yours like that?!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
