What happens if you drink expired rum?
Expired alcohol doesn’t make you sick. If you drink liquor after it’s been open for more than a year, you generally only risk a duller taste. Flat beer typically tastes off and may upset your stomach, whereas spoiled wine usually tastes vinegary or nutty but isn’t harmful.
How do you know when rum goes bad?

You can drink it (because it’s not spoiled), but in my opinion, there’s no point in drinking any alcohol that you don’t enjoy.
Is all rum aged?
Most rum is aged before being bottled. Only a few rums are bottled without some amount of time spent in barrels.

Does older alcohol taste better?
And it isn’t just because they’re old, though age makes the whiskys taste better. The wood from the barrels a Scotch (or any whisky) is aged in tends to break down the rougher flavors in the alcohol, leaving you with a smoother taste. The longer the alcohol is in there, the smoother it gets.
Why is whiskey aged 12 years?
