Jameson Irish Whiskey Middleton Blend

So I have a personal dilemma and I need your advice. Its not a life of death situation but I have been racking my brain over this and I still haven’t come to a decision yet.

For one of my many liquid holiday gifts (more on that later) I received an amazing bottle of whiskey. Jameson and Son’s Middleton Whiskey 2003! This triple distilled bottle is only made in small quantities and I’m not sure I’m even worthy enough to have this let alone drink it.

In all the excitement of getting the package and reading the invitation to come personally catalog the bottle at the distillery in Ireland, I almost cracked the top and took a swallow. After I called my gift giver to express my gratitude, I came down from my high and decide to think about what I wanted to do.

After a few hours, I’ve come up with nothing so these are my options

1. Crack it open, have a glass and save the rest for a special occasion
2. Don’t drink it, and hide it from all my grubby friends’ paws and save it for a special occasion.
3. Pop the top and share it with every whiskey drinking friend I know.
4. Or Down the bottle in one sitting for a helluva post-New Year’s celebration?
