Bottles of Malibu etc

I have found two bottles of Malibu (half full) and a bottle of Port (opened but full). Are they like spirits? Can you keep them for years? I also have a cream liquer but think it needs binning. It has been opened for nine months?

    I think most alcohol lasts(but if they have anything like cream in the bottle)it may be safer to sadly bin it but wait and see what other posters say who know more about these things I have some Bailey's past the date(open and unopened)and have wondered whether it can be used.

    I have drank alcohol well past it's date before and it tasted fine.

    Decided to bin the cream liquer. Was an expensive present so I will be more careful the next one I get to drink it all !!!. Kept the malibu - someone said it could be treated as a spirit and kept. The port is also likely to go down the sink. It seemingly only lasts for weeks !!!
