Can whiskey go bad on the shelf if previously opened?!
I've had this bottle of whiskey for several years and used it sparingly over the years, but suddenly I'm wondering if it might have gone bad!. Any possibility!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Whiskey doesn't AGE like wine does!. After being opened, it will begin to oxidize and the flavor will change!. It takes a while!. It doesn't necessarily go bad, it just loses it's peak flavor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It will not be bad but over time (most quality spirits will be fine for up to two years) it will start to lose taste and of course evaporate a bit
The best thing to do is smell it and then give it a taste!.!.!.!.!.

well yes and no, if recently opened it might lose taste, but after a while it if any bacteria got into it and with heat it may grow bacteria and a type of cold may start to grow!. you might want to distill itWww@FoodAQ@Com
absolutely - to avoid the long, chemistry-rich explanation, it has to do with fermentation!. while it probably will not do any harm to drink it, i cant expect that it would taste any good!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No as long as the cap was on it, It will taste the same as the day you bought it, Liquor lasts indefinitely, That's why they call them spirits!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It won't spoil but if left open or ajar, it can pick up off flavors (or the alcohol can evaporate)!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Alcohol itself is a preservativeWww@FoodAQ@Com
if it hasn't been contaminated it will last very long!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
not really but if it was left open a little it may have lost tasteWww@FoodAQ@Com
