hi :) i was just gifted a couple of bottles of 25 year old Smirnoff -- as in, it's been sitting in someone's basement and they are afraid to drink it and i said "I'll take it!"
so, will it kill me?
i gotta couple of bottles of rum, too
what do ya think? - Miggy

Tue, November 15, 2005 - 10:06 PMProgram 911 on your phone's speed-dial, get a glass...some ice...and go for it! Hell, it's not like anything was going to grow in there and vodka doesn't age...
I would get a new bottle of Smirnoff and compare the taste of the two to compare for kicks!
Have fun...and in case you go blind, learn to dial via touch :)
PS-What rums did you score? -

But unlike scotch, cognac and wine, there's also nothing about vodka that will change its taste over time. So I imagine a 25 year old bottle of Smirnoff would taste like it would have 25 years ago. Which I hope is better than what a modern-day bottle would taste like. ;)
