As will become immediately obvious, I am not much of a drinker. But in cleaning out our basement today I found some bottles of liquor that a friend brought over to our place about 10 years ago to keep for her. (She was moving to Italy.) She never came back for them, and I forgot about them.

My question: Is this stuff still any good? Most of the bottles have been opened but tightly sealed and stored in a cool basement. Again, I'd estimate this is all at least 10 years old.

Here is what we have:

LaSalle diluted bourbon whiskey
Plum wine
Coffee liqueur
DeKuyper Amaretto liqueur
Bailey’s Irish Cream
Bacardi light rum

Drinkers and mixologists, what's your opinion? Keep or pitch?

I'd throw away the diluted bourbon just because it's probably nasty. I'd pitch the wine and the Irish cream, and keep the rest.

I just finished off a 14-year-old bottle of rum. Now I must go to St. Kitts to get another ...

I would not pitch anything. I would possibly keep the wine and rum, but give the rest to a needy local graduate student.

I say offer it for tasting. Who know you may find a product that is actually better after it has aged 10 years.

it can last for centuries under stable conditions. 200 year old brandy is sometimes brought out by the cognac distillers in france for special celebrations.
