Does gin go bad? I have a bottle from the 70's of Tanqueray.?

Answer 1

It won't go bad, but it can lose its scent. The Juniper used to give gin its scent and distinctive taste will probably disappear over time.

Answer 2

I thought all gin was booze gone bad - tastes like what I would imagine eating a pine tree air freshner would taste like! How can it get any worse?

Answer 3

Is it open? If it's open, it may have turned to vinegar or something WORSE, like rubbing alcohol.
And if not open, has it been stored in a cool dark place?
I say toss it. It may have turned into something that will make your liver curl up and die after only 1 sip.
Wait, BETTER YET, give it to me, I'll serve it to my EX.
Here, honey, HAVE A DRINK!!! teeeee hheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Answer 4

Gin doesn't go bad....it starts out bad and gets worse.

Answer 5

If it hasn't been opened, and it doesn't look like any of it has evaporated, and the color is still clear, it's probably ok. Try a small sip--if it tastes like you expect it to, no problem. If it has been open a long time....no good.

Answer 6
