Comment on Does alcohol expire? Specifically whiskey?
MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 1 month agoI’ll add in her something I learned recently - whisky can become “corked”, ie if the stopper is made of cork, it can go bad and ruin the drink’s flavour. I thought this was just a wine thing, but apparently it can happen with whisky too.

I’d have to wonder if storing a corked bottle of whiskey at an angle to keep the cork wet like with wine keeps it intact.

That alcohol percentage in whiskey is high enough that the alcohol would slowly eat away at the cork. To make sure the cork doesn’t dry out it is best to keep the bottle upside down for a few seconds once every ~6 months.
