Your "wisky" is only coloured on it's surface while real wisky is coloured all 
the way trough, but not "on" it's surface.
First, make an empty glass.
Now, model it content, make a very little smaller to prevent coincident surfaces.
Give it texture{pigment{rgbt 0.95}finish{reflection{0.1,0.9 fresnel}ambient 0 
diffuse 0.1}}
Give it an interior: interior{ior 0.32 dispersion 0.02 
fade_color<0.3647,0.2862,0.0156> fade_distance 0.4}// I used your colour
It will give you a content that is almost completely transparent, experiment 
with the pigment to fine tune it. A pigment on the surface of a transparent 
object give a bubble like effect with no feeling of substance.
Wiskey ior is a little lower than that of water.
The key is fade_color and fade_distance. This give you a better feel of 
substance, the final colour is dependent on how long you travel into the 
substance. Adjust fade_distance as needed if it's to dark or light.
