Ok, I looked, but there is no such group as alt.drinks.canadian-whisky, so I thought this was the next best thing. I have a bottle of canadian club whisky that is mostly full, and the tax sticker that is on the cap says 1980. the label on the bottle says 'this whisky is 6 years old,' so, that makes the whisky 29 years old. the bottle has probably been open since about 1980, however is still full just about up to the neck. my question is this: what has likely happened to this whisky over those 23 years that this bottle has been open (read: capped, but not sealed) and sitting in a dark cupboard? has the alcohol content increased? has some of the taste gone, or been changed in some other way? i am drinking some right now, and it tastes a little stronger than 80 proof...but what do i know? i am relatively new at this.
thanks in advance for any insight,
Adam
