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?

I cleaned out my fridge yesterday and almost cried as I poured a fantastic opened bottle of Chardonnay down the kitchen sink because it was a few months old.
If I had to throw mine out you should be throwing your's out! 🙂
PS I had a 5 year old bottle of Marsala sweet wine (not kept in the fridge) I use for Tiramisu. I actually rang a bottle shop and asked if it would still be OK. They said it wouldn't kill my dinner guests but to be on the safe side I should buy a new one. I did because I almost poisoned my brother-in-law once. He's a horticulturist and I'd served him a salad to which I'd added some flowers to. Turns out the flowers were poisonous. I'm still trying to live that down after many years.
I'm cancelling my dinner invitation with you next week Mioux
He says he'll try it later tonight...
Reminds me of a joke he played on his father once. His dad liked VERY weak tea.....just pass the teabag over the cup sort of thing. One day he gave his dad a cup of vegemite instead of the tea. His dad kept remarking he could smell vegemite somewhere, but drank his cup of 'tea' anyway. Crook sense of taste must run in hubby's family.
