Gifting cheap whiskey or what else to do with it....

Whiskey and coke. It's a shame to blow a single malt on such a tripe drink but something like what you've posted I wouldn't second guess. You can get fancy cokes for fairly cheap, and have it as a treat drink very infrequently.

That's what I use it for. I like whiskey but as only the missus buys me nice stuff, I usually end up with several cheap bottles at Christmas from other people. I save them for when people are over and want whiskey and coke as to use a single malt for that would be sacrilege!
 
Give it as a present to one of your relatives you don't like very much or see very often. Theres a joke about re-gifting somewhere or other I'm sure there are plenty of things that have done the rounds multiple times.
 
I am not a whisky drinker but that sounds potentially appealing, I'll give it a go!

I don't have a specific recipe but;

crush some mixed peppercorns roughly in pestle & mortar
add to steak towards end of cooking
flambe the whisky with the steak
remove steak to rest
deglaze the pan
add maybe a teaspoon of corn flour when the pan has cooled off a little and cook out the flour for a minute
tip in a carton of decent cream when pan has cooled off a bit
pour back juices from rested steak
add some more ground pepper & salt to taste
warm gently to thicken
 
Keep it till summer and light your BBQ with it.

Or use it in whiskey cocktails or for the heathen that comes over and drinks mixers with their whiskey.
