when you say without a top, do you mean no lid/cork/stopper/whatever, i.e. leaving the booze open to the air?

this is probably bad, yes

it never goes bad as in dangerous to drink, the alcohol content does not decrease much (you have the oh-so-silly cork though, so a little seeps out very slowly) so nothing will grow in it. the air in the bottle does mess with the smell/taste a bit though, mostly in that a lot of the fresher (fruity and sharp) tastes come from stuff that will happily oxidize away

the rule of thumb i was taught was that one should finish a x% full bottle within x% of two years, but that is clearly bullshit since it doesn't work for 100% (you can keep them basically indefinitely unopened), and it obviously matters if you keep opening it, freshening the air inside (well, when reasonably full at least presumably all the reactions that will happen will happen at some point)

as noted though, it is 100% fine to drink, so pour a bit for a whisky-drinking friend and see if they ask for a refill

nah, he means the metal lid of the cardboard tubes laphroiag sells in, which doesn't matter, good it is in the tube anyway since at least light is not an issue that way

People have been saying sours are gonna be the next big thing for a few years now and I just don’t see it happening. Takes too much effort to make a decent sour

Over the top stouts and porters are the big thing now imo. Kinda good because dark beers are great. Kinda bad because WOW there are some hosed up insane stouts out now that have more in common with a candy coffee beverage from Starbucks than with actual beer

So yeah fads are dumb just shut up and drink
