keggerz Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Probably a pretty stupid question but what is the shelf life of Vodka? I have a bottle of Chopin Vodka(potato not grain) that I bought about 7-8 yrs ago and have never opened it... I don't have any plans on opening it and drinking it either but if it is drinkable I could always gift it to someone on an upcoming holiday or something of the sort...and just curious if anyone has ever had this particular brand and if it is pretty good or crap...I honestly cant remember what I paid for it or why I even bought it....probably bought it because I liked the bottle and it matched my bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 An opened bottle of vodka lasts a lot longer than eight years (not in my house), so you're fine. I love potato vodka, so just send it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Cid Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 When I first married my wife, my MIL had a liquor cabinet stocked with stuff both opened and unopened that had been around for years In some cases more than 20. There was nothing wrong with any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hard alcohol will never go bad. The only thing that will happen to it is that the alcohol part will evaporate over years (many years) even if it's never been opened. You would notice the fill level was lower that usual if that happened. Don't worry about it if it hasn't sat there for 25+ years, feel free to regift it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liqour stores in the Dallas area usually have it in the same section as Belvadere and Grey Goose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belvedere and Chopin are the same company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
