For being a good boy, *pulling my guts out and making a 10/10 job of
painting the interior of my house the wife has given me a bottle of
Bells Whiskey. Seems she has had it in a drawer for maybe three years.
It looked a bit pale. The top was on tightly but there was no click
sound when I opened it. 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".

I've just tried (almost the last dregs) of my bottle of Bushmills bought in
1975. I went off whisk(e)y around the time I bought it due to a surfeit of
it.

I've been testing this bottle for the last.... 37 years. I could develop a
taste for it. It certainly hasn't gone off.
