Whisky.............with dregs left behind???  This is not  possible.

Unless it's like the "Thai Mekong  Whisky"  that a friend once brought me back from Bangkok.  That did get left in the glass.  It could have been used for stripping paint, descaling boilers or removing unwanted hair from garden gnomes.  I think we eventually used it to light the barbecue.
