Does whiskey go bad? Here’s how to spot the signs

Finally learn how and why whiskey goes bad

Pouring a glass of whiskey

The craft of making whiskey (single malt Scotch whisky, bourbon, Irish whiskey, or any other type) is highly elaborate. It’s a time-consuming process of mashing grain, fermenting the mash, distilling the liquid, and then maturing it in wood barrels. The ingredients and method are different depending on the type of whiskey. But one thing is guaranteed with any whiskey distilled worldwide: it will be sold and stored in a bottle.

This brings us to one crucial question: Does whiskey go bad? In my more than two decades of writing about alcohol and sampling countless whiskeys, I have found that it definitely does. But there are a variety of causes, and they are usually created by the alcohol consumer and not the distiller.

This 142.7-proof blend was distilled in Canada and features whiskeys from 20 to 30 years old. After the initial maturation, it was blended in Kentucky before it was aged again in a combination of Spanish brandy and Hungarian oak casks.
