My family and I were going through my grandmother’s apartment after her passing to get her estate in order. After all was said and done, I got a bunch of alcohol she had for guests mostly, including two types of whiskey (scotch and regular), some gin, and three flavors of vodka. I tried some of the Crown Royal and it didn’t taste too good. Also didn’t taste like the last glass of whiskey I had before. Of course I always hear about stuff aged 4 years or 12 years etc. so I wonder if it’s a “gone bad” thing or a me thing.

    I’d have to wonder if storing a corked bottle of whiskey at an angle to keep the cork wet like with wine keeps it intact.

      That alcohol percentage in whiskey is high enough that the alcohol would slowly eat away at the cork. To make sure the cork doesn’t dry out it is best to keep the bottle upside down for a few seconds once every ~6 months.
