So I still have it and the mate and next July I hit the end game.

Do you think this shit will be fine as hell or got teh bitter?

Your expertise is sought...

Didn't read the relies, Jules, but I had an old girlfriend - like way the fuck back when I was in college - give me a little bottle of Tanqueray back in the day. Dorky, but I like gin. Anyhow, for whatever reason, I never drank it. It ended up in the bottom of a stolen beer pitcher that I kept other misc bar gear in.

Many years later - like 20 - I found myself home alone, after a night of partying, with a desire for a night cap. Unfortunately, I was totally out of EVERYTHING. Everything, that is, EXCEPT, that little bottle of gin. I decided what the fuck and busted it open. To my unpleasant surprise, it tasted like shit. Mind you, I LOVE alkehaul - a lot really - but that shit tasted like rotten rubbing alcohol. I actually ended up throwing it out.

You may have a different experience, but I'd say keep it sealed and save it for you grandchildren....
