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

It tasted awful so I have poured it down the drain.
Does Whiskey deteriorate?

Nope. In fact the best of its 20-80+ years old.

Only if it's (a) whisky, not whiskey, and (b) still in casks.

And it's reckoned that after about 25 to 30 years, it starts to get
"woody".
