Today I wanted to address a question see periodically in a lot of the Facebook groups, Instagram posts, or other whiskey forums. Does Whiskey Go Bad?<\/strong> I’ll attempt to answer the question directly, and then get into some details about long-term whiskey storage and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The simple answer here is that whiskey can go bad, but it doesn’t have to<\/strong>. Proper care and storage of a bottle of whiskey can help it last for decades. Even some moderate care will help keep whiskey entirely drinkable for ages. Keep it stored at moderate temperatures and away from direct sunlight, and the shelf life of whiskey can be extended for a very long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sunlight and oxygen can have some negative chemical affects on your whiskey with prolonged exposure. Your whiskey won’t ever necessarily “spoil”, per se, but it’s character may change enough that you wouldn’t want to drink it any longer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nDoes Whiskey Go Bad?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
