I had considered that I wouldn’t see condensation from alcohol evaporating, but I only noticed the level visibly dropping with Jim beam specifically.
It could be as simple as the difference in color absorbing more heat from light, I suppose.
Comment on why is my whisky evaporating?

Condensation means there is more water evaporating, not alcohol.
Keep it in a cooler place and this will reduce the evaporation rate.

Alcohol condenses too

The water condensates after evaporating, the alcohol doesn’t.

I doubt that it’s water condensation. Based on some internet sleuthing I strongly suspect that it’s alcohol.

Why it’s happening for one and not the other, I’m not sure.

it’s probably the quality.

There’s other even more volatile compounds in the cheaper stuff. They will evaporate even more easily than alcohol, though I’d suspect that they drag some along with it.
