What to Do With A 30 Yr Old Opened Crown

hey all,
my son acquired a 30 yr old open bottle of crown royal. I braved it and took a taste; a bit 'medicinal' tasting, but I did not die. Is it OK to drink. hate to waste good crown. advise?

Sounds like it has been exposed to enough oxygen over the years that all the alcohol has evaporated. It isn't dangerous to drink its just going to have that "Medicinal" flavor you spoke of. Although i wouldn't risk it and just cork it up and keep it as a collectable. Or just dump the old crown out and just keep the bottle..... i know its hard to pour out booze :)
