Old Whisky - Worth Opening?

[CB07]

I am doing a bit of a clear out and have found these which are my late father in laws fathers whisky. Bells and Haig are not open, the teachers is open.

Any of it worth drinking or opening? Before it goes down the drain!

Cheers

It'd be fine with Coke, not the best for drinking straight.

Very unlikely to be rare so not worth any money and they don't get any better once bottled. Try them and if you like them then drink them.

I thought as much! I don’t drink whisky with coke, so that’s made my mind up!

Teachers and Bells are fit for cleaning toilets whether they're open or not. I've never tried Haig, so can't comment.

In general though, apparently whiskey is alright for about 6 to 12 months if opened. After that the taste changes, and like someone else said if a mixer is used you won't notice the taste. It's not a bad taste, it's just a more earthy/musty taste that is noticeable if you drink it straight.

I've a bottle of Bullit Bourbon that I forgot about for a year, and it tasted earthy/musty. It was fine with coke though.

Also don't bin it. Someone will be happy to receive it, even if it's just for a raffle prize.

The open bottle of teachers and another of sobrano have been hoyed. On closer inspection the bells was also open so that helped clean the drains!

The Haig stays and I also uncovered a bottle of Chivas 12 yo, I am going to donate them to a mate with a nice outdoor log cabin/bar to dish out to unassuming guests!
