Should I drink this antique rum? - Tiki Drinks and Food

A few months back my parents gave me their supply of booze from the '60's +. And while yes, they were previously opened, I tried all of them & they were all unpleasant. (May be my cast-iron stomache that I didn't get sick. I recently made a drink with some Alize that tasted off & looked closer at the bottle where it said "keep refrigerated", & here I had it out on the shelf for three years :roll: ) I'd say that after opening, they may do a Dorian Gray and just deteriorate rapidly anyway. Keep it safe & keep it capped! [ Edited by: twitch 2010-05-31 20:04 ]
