Would This Still Be OK To Drink?

[grapes_collector]

Had to clean out our drinks cabinet as we are moving next year. Found an old bottle of Blackberry Nip hiding at the back. When I finally managed to get the top off and had a sniff it smelt rank to me, however, hubby is adamant he is going to try some with dinner tonight. 

His sense of taste and smell are terrible, so I have visions of him being very sick.

Is booze this old (must be over 20yrs) still OK or not?

Just reading this thread. As yes I have the same question. I too have just found a bottle of Blackberry Nip hiding away in my collection of bottles of Port. I might let my brothers check it out at a get together one of these years.

Not anywhere near the same thing...Chardonnay is a fermented sparkling 'wine' and will go bad, blackberry nip is basically a alcohol fortified liquer...and distilled alcohol does not go off, fermented alcohol does...so why should they have poured out a perfectly fine product? If it smelled bad it was probably a cheap nasty on in the first place is all! 🙂
