Does Jim Beam Bourbon go off

Hello

This is not something I normally buy and to be honest just got it for my Pecan Pie recipe. Only used 3 caps full.

So now the real question comes there is no expiration date on the bottle so does this stuff have an expiration date?

Normally drink wine so haven't got a clue....

Thanks

Bourbon will be ok...just keep it out of sunlight and at room temperature.

It won't go off..never gets the chance in my home anyway!..It's basically the same as any whisky/whiskey/bourbon recipy so if it went off,you wouldn't have any 20 year old single malts ect..

I have a bottle of rum which I bought for a £2-4 at an airport in Egypt approximately 10 years ago and it has been opened for all of that time. Recently, I have stopped buying drink as I am trying to lose weight and each night I have a sherry glass of this ancient rum and it tastes fine to me!

Alcohol is a great preservative, so it would take pretty exceptional circumstances for something with a high alcohol percentage like bourbon to go off, such as contamination with all sorts of nasty things not normally found in a kitchen. Keeping it closed and stored in a kitchen cupboard, it should last ages!
