You finally found a gin you love (maybe The Old G), but now you’re wondering — does gin go bad? Does it expire like wine or juice? The short answer: not exactly. Gin doesn’t spoil like food, but how you store it can change how it tastes over time. Here's what you need to know.
Unlike wine or beer, gin is shelf-stable and won’t “spoil” in the traditional sense. That means:
But while gin won’t go rancid, it can lose its flavor, aroma, and intensity over time — especially once the bottle is opened.
The Old G is distilled to stay smooth and balanced, but we always recommend enjoying it within a reasonable window for the best experience.
No need to toss it immediately, but it won’t deliver that top-shelf experience you’re expecting.
Keep it:
And don’t store it next to heat sources or in fluctuating temperatures. That can speed up flavor loss.
Gin might not go bad, but it’s not immune to time. If you’ve got a bottle of The Old G on your shelf, store it right and drink it fresh. Great gin deserves the kind of care that keeps every pour as smooth as the first.
The Old G Gin is unlike any other. It’s smooth, with no burn, no bite, and none of the bitterness that defines traditional gin. Its bold flavor profile stands out, whether sipped neat or mixed into a cocktail.
