Can Old Rum Make You Sick?
If old rum is properly stored and has not been contaminated, it should not make you sick. However, if the rum has been exposed to air, sunlight, or temperatures outside the recommended range, it could become spoiled and potentially cause illness. It is always best to check the expiration or “best by” date, and to use your senses to check for any signs of spoilage, such as an off smell or taste.
