If you decant whisky is there a certain time by which you should have finished it before it goes 'off'?

Actually, I'm guessing that asking you that question is particularly stupid.

I shouldn't have thought so. Spirits are fairly robust.

Of course, the classic trick with a decanter is to fill it with your cooking whisky and hide the real thing. That way, you can fob importunate house guests and relatives off with the rubbish and keep the good stuff for yourself.

As you know, I tend to agree. However, I would say that the generally poisonous nature of spirits does make one appreciate the ones that don't taste wholly unpleasant even more. In other words, you have to have got mashed up on Metaxa to really appreciate a good Cognac.

They have this great one in Columbia called Aguadiente - an anise-flavoured liqueur derived from sugar cane.
