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?

Blackberry Nip just the smell of that stuff even when new was terrible 🙂 20 years old no way.

Your questionis old, however, I will answer it anyway.

I recentlyoipened a bottle of 1960's something Blackberry Nip made by D'Aquinos.  Although it was off colour, (green instedad of purple)...it tasted not too different to what I remember it to be.  I gave it to my son (a uni student) and he shared it....I think they rather enjoyed it.

THat proves nothing. Uni students will eat and drink anything.

Yes Yes Yes  its a fortified wine,nector of the gods. Kiwis drank itby the flagon in the 60s and 70s  very hard to get now. if you dont want it i'll have it   🙂

you dont know what you are talking about. it inproves with age.

As the OP asked her question 2 and a half years ago I think it is rather a moot point now whether it was drinkable or not.
