Does alcohol expire? Specifically whiskey?

Battle Masker@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 98 points –

My family and I were going through my grandmother's apartment after her passing to get her estate in order. After all was said and done, I got a bunch of alcohol she had for guests mostly, including two types of whiskey (scotch and regular), some gin, and three flavors of vodka. I tried some of the Crown Royal and it didn't taste too good. Also didn't taste like the last glass of whiskey I had before. Of course I always hear about stuff aged 4 years or 12 years etc. so I wonder if it's a "gone bad" thing or a me thing.

I mean…. Crown Royal never tastes too good so you’re probably fine.

Crown Royal Black is very good. The Salted Caramel is nice too.

I love crown black. It's definitely the cheapest I can buy without feeling gross the next day after a couple drinks.

Exactly. It’s a nice smoky whiskey. I also like the Johnny Walker Double Black. For the more expensive, Ardberg Ardbeg 10 and Lagavulin 16.

It would be quite funny if they released a set of iceberg-shaped whisky stones called the ardbergs though
