Molasses Shelf Life

Molasses storage
Heat and humidity can cause molasses to get moldy. Store it in a cool, dry place and be sure it is tightly closed. You can also store it in the refrigerator if you don't use it often. Anticipate your use and let it rest at room temperature for half an hour before you need it otherwise it will be thick and difficult to pour. Store unopened molasses in a cool, dark place for up to one year. Once opened, it can be stored for another twelve months in a very cool location if you are careful to wipe the lip of the bottle clean and securely seal it after each use.

I'd say a really long time. Possibly a few years. Open it and look at it, if it looks and smells ok it's probably fine.
BUT - you have any doubt, molasses is cheap.

As long as it is sealed and no air gets in it will last up to 10 years - once opened it will only last 6 months. There are a number of uses and it can be used as a sugar replacement, glaze, in marinades and sauces - it is even used blended with butter to top pancakes and toast. Enjoy!

Molasses has an indefinite shelf life. It almost lasts forever.
