Who says spirits last forever? That's wrong. You are dealing with an organic compound, so eventually it will break down. So, no. Rum would not be drinkable after 1000 years.
yes it would. if it had the lid on it.
Yes. As long as it's kept completely sealed and doesn't get contaminated with anything from the outside, there is no way it can turn poisonous or harmful. I remember reading news articles about archaeologists finding sealed jars of wine dating back to the Roman, Egyptian and early Chinese eras that were still fairly drinkable. Alcohol itself is an excellent preservative so it doesn't decompose and cannot possibly go bad, but the organic compounds in liquor may break down after many years (particularly if exposed to sunlight) so it might not taste quite as good anymore.
if is kept properly, yes!
it is drinkable. Provided the alcohol and water from the bottle hasn't vaporised and you're left with a drop of highly concentrated non-alcoholic rum. But why keep it for 1000 years?You're not gonna be around to drink it
