mrt Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Is there any problem when I have a few open bottles at a time and keep them for a long time? I'm a slow-drinker Of course, I keep the "caps" closed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBOmarc Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Drink them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNbourbon Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Seriously, it will take a very long time for your open bottles to oxidize. In fact, some bottlings seem to benefit from a breath of fresh air, and become more flavorful as they recede toward the bottle's bottom.If it's not cloudy, it's still good to drink.

BourbonJoe Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I just finished off a bottle of 100 month old Beam I purchased in 1976. It was very good whiskey. About 4 ounces remained in that bottle for over 15 years. No problem.Joe :usflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedmans Brorsa Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 For me it is normally the nose who suffers but, at least in my case, there is no protection against this since these deteroriations sometimes can be noticed already after a month a two. It´s frustrating, all the same, since you clearly remember that delighful scent now almost gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I feel no difference of nose or smell within a few weeks. Maybe sth. wrong bwith my nose?! Anyway, that's good for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
