I started on this lamp a long time ago. I can't remember much to say about the rye whiskey, I haven't had a drink in a while. I did like the bottle, and I drilled a hole large enough for the wire with a glass-drilling bit near the base. I used a lamp fixture to complete the first version of the lamp, but it was unstable, and the brown cord running through was unaesthetic.
So I had the idea to fill the bottle with glass bits, and decided to use some of the blue glass I'd been storing for such an occasion. At first I tried smashing it up and adding the shards, but it seemed like the sharp glass was too dangerous. Then I decided to try and rig up a rock tumbler. But then a friend of mine had one, so I borrowed it and set about the task of making artificial sea glass. About 12 hours was enough to round the sharp edges, but I had to make several batches to fill the bottle.
