Liquors such as whiskey, vodka, and gin have indefinite shelf lives if unopened, and years of shelf life even after being opened. Liqueurs, with higher sugar content, can also last many years unopened, and over a year if opened. Cream liqueurs like Bailey's have about 1. 5 years unopened.

Most liquors do not expire, and can last more or less forever. There are a few exceptions, such as some cream-based liquers, but most do not degenerate. If there is no expiration date on the bottle, then it is safe to assume that it cannot expire.

Liquor is one of those things that virtually does not expire. It has very good preservatives in it. The longer you keep the alcohol, the more potent it tends to be as times goes on. As for wines leaving it on the shelf for years improves the taste. Vintage wine is popular among avid wine drinkers.

Depending on what kind of liquor of you have it can last almost forever. Beer for example doesn't last very long because it just gets a bad taste after a while. However vodka and whiskey stay good for years and years, same with wine. Wine is actually better the longer it sits.

If they are stored properly, in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight, they should be fine for several years, especially if unopened. The exception is anything containing cream, such as Irish Cream Liquor, which should be refrigerated after opening and used within a few months for the best taste.
