I found a bottle of good vodka in my basement, about half full from about a year ago, there's still a good liter in there. It's still perfectly fine to drink now though right? Thanks.

lol, I don't like this brand to begin with, it tastes like absolute crap, I can see why nobody ever bothered to finish it.

The flavor could have changed. There isn't much, that I know of, that can grow on a 50% alcohol solution.

Good point, and it's 40% btw, I think all vodka is 40%.

For many years, I drank with the attitude that once you opened a bottle of whiskey, it would go bad over night...so, once you opened a bottle, throw away the cap, and drink it ALL...

Realiztically, no, it won't go bad. Since I gave up "marathon drinking", I have several partial bottles in my liquor cabinet that MAY get brought out once or twice per year. They still taste fine...

OMG! It must have evaporated! :shocked:

I had some southern comfort that tasted bad after being open a month several years ago.
