Link: Preserving Your Expensive Spirits Collection →

"The most common theme in spirits preservation is this: The more air space in a bottle, the faster oxidation occurs. A newly opened bottle with just a dram or two consumed deteriorates (oxidizes) much slower than a bottle with only an ounce or two left. The general consensus: Once a bottle gets to the stage where there’s not much left, put it at the top of your list to finish off soon."

Barring a quick finish on that bottle, it’s time for some inert gas. Excuse me, time to make another trip to Amazon.com.
