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

Doesn't your wife love you? If my wife bought me Bells, I'd divorce her.

Whiskey.

Bells is whisky rather than 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?

Bells always tastes awful.

Next time demand something decent, Bushmills or at least Jamesons ;-)

Indeed. I much prefer whiskey to whisky (although I never turn down a
kind offer). I can't help feeling that, somehow, the Scots have never
quite got the hang of making it.

Au contraire. I think you'll find that it's the Irish who are struggling to
get it right. Can't even spell it right for starters! ;-)
