I still have the bottles. No-one in the family drinks the stuff.

Is it likely to keep indefinitely? Already off? The liquid levels in the bottles haven't dropped and obviously they've never been opened.

Unopened bottles of spirits will last indefinitely, as long as they haven't been exposed to extremely high temperatures.

PS: Your grandmother sounds awesome.
