Opened Vodka Bottle many years old

Question

I just went into the basement, and found an opened bottle of vodka along with other unopened alcohol. I'm wondering if the vodka expired at all, it tastes fine, but I read somewhere that it's just a non alcoholic now since its been opened and left out for so long in the cupboard.

Answer 1

no i would say it is off if its that old

i know bourbon goes off so i would say all grog does at some stage.

Answer 2

The vodka won't be dangerous to drink, but it could taste awful, especially if the temperature has varied a lot, or it was exposed to a lot of sunlight.  The same goes for the other unopened spirits; wine might be skunked depending on the variety and beer at that age is almost definitely undrinkable.
