It looked a bit pale. The top was on tightly but there was no click sound
when I opened it.

If it was Whiskey ... then it was not Bells

Bells is Scotch Blended Whisky

Whiskey is Irish not Scottish


Whatever you had as a Blended spirit it does not usually improve that
much with age, compared to for example a single malt ........ also it
does not go off ....

If it is in fact labelled as Bells Whiskey .... then maybe it is a cheap
copy, and may have moire in common with anti-freeze than Scotland.
