Rum question?

Question

i have a bottle of rum that is several years old but still sealed. is ok to drink it?

Answer 1

Unlike some wines, distilled spirits do not age (or mature) in the bottle. This means that your 20 year old, unopened bottle of 18 year Scotch will taste the same as it would have the first day it was bottled. However, like beer certain liquors can "go bad" and after months or years almost any spirit in an opened bottle may loose some character, "punch" and flavor.

Base liquors (brandy, gin, rum, tequila, vodka and whiskey) are typically the most stable distilled spirits and can be stored for a long time. Unopened, these bottles have an indefinite shelf life but once opened they may begin to lose certain flavor qualities over the years.

Answer 2

yes. most hard liquors are good for a long time opened or not.

Answer 3

Stored with the cap on and away from extreme temps & light, liquor can last for years and still taste perfectly fine. I'm sure its as good as the 1st day you got it. However, liquor will not get better or age in the bottle.
