Does Scotch Go Bad If Opened?
Scotch doesn’t go bad if opened as long as it’s stored properly. This means keeping the bottle away from direct sunlight and heat, and tightly sealed with its cork or cap. However, if the bottle has been open for a very long time (years) or has been exposed to air and light for extended periods, the taste and aroma may be affected. In general, it’s best to consume opened Scotch within a few months to a year to ensure optimal flavor.
