MurphyDawg Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 As far as I know, bourbon doesnt go "BAD", it may be oxidized and not taste very good (which I supposed you would only find out by tasting it) but it won't spoil.TomC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 The stuff will not go bad. It has too much alcohol in it for any stray yeast to start a secondary fermentation as in wine. Evaporation over the years may alter the proof and the taste I suspect,but not to any significant degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 If your bottle has a cork--> Make sure you store it upright and not on its side like wine. It will deteriorate the cork and make your bourbon taste like such... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
