Just the title really. My pumpkin spice baileys went out of date in May (this year).
It has been unopened. (I was saving it).

Will I die if I drink it? Blush

Nope, sure you will be fine. And if you did die, least you'd die happy...

britnay · 11/11/2019 20:06

just make sure you consume it quickly once you do open it ;) :D

Minikievs · 11/11/2019 20:10

I’d drink it even if it had been opened! If it’s been sealed til now, then bottoms up!

Dislocatedeyeballs · 11/11/2019 20:13

Its alcohol that's a preservative isn't it? If unopened I would anyway sure they just put a sell by date so u have to buy some more well done for not drinking it all mine would last a few days at the most!

Fireextinguished · 11/11/2019 20:15

Ooohhh best try mine.

titchy · 11/11/2019 20:16

Definitely. Don't touch it. give it to me

Seriously it'll be fine!

GonnaBeMaayy · 11/11/2019 20:19

Grin If I don’t return you will know that I drank it and am now dead

It has cream in. You'll be able to tell if it's gone off. It will smell bad and possibly be curdled. If it smells good, looks good and tastes good it will be fine. Take a small sip and see. If it tastes like it should, drink it.Smile

I am terrible for throwing things away as they have gone out of date - but I would drink this if it hadn’t been opened, the alcohol will have preserved it, enjoy!

I made a cake last weekend with some stem ginger in syrup that had gone out of date, er, 20 years ago to the month.

Well, I thought, apparently honey bottled by the ancient Greeks is still edible and sugar is sugar...

I have eaten several slices and it is delicious.

I doubt it, but As the saying goes. You’ve got to die of something, I suppose. GrinWink

AdaColeman · 11/11/2019 20:31

It will be fine, try it poured over vanilla ice cream!

TheQueef · 11/11/2019 20:32

Can you update tomorrow if you don't die?
I've some Aldi copies of Bailey's that are well past date.

Twickerhun · 11/11/2019 20:33

Bottoms up

JPharm · 11/11/2019 20:34

There are far worse ways to die!

mathsquestions · 11/11/2019 20:39

It’s probably a “best before date” rather than a “consume by date”. You’ll be more than fine. Enjoy.

My in-laws gave me a bottle of baileys that went out of date in 2003 earlier this year. I had a mouthful but it was definitely past it’s best. Sure anything less than five years out of date would be ok?!

wineconnoisseur · 11/11/2019 20:59

I wouldn't personally drink it but that's because I get ill so easily that I don't risk having anything past the sell by date anymore..

Youreterriblemuriel99 · 11/11/2019 21:01

I had some 6 years out of date - it tasted ok but I wouldn’t risk drinking loads in a go just in case 😬

ohdavidattenborough · 11/11/2019 21:06

Get it down yer

BarbaraofSeville · 11/11/2019 21:37

Probably. I had a bottle that was open in the fridge that was about 5 years out of date by the time I'd finished it, and it hadn't gone off.

Honestly, unopened and six months out of date is nothing.

Bluntness100 · 11/11/2019 21:41

I think baileys only say it's got a shelf life of two years, which is the longest of all the cream liqueurs. I'd smell it and taste it, but I'd not tank it tonight and see how I feel tomorrow, after say a small one tonight.

pompomcat · 11/11/2019 21:41

This thread title made me laugh out loud-well done OP.
No, the Baileys will not kill you.
Enjoy!

AnyFucker · 11/11/2019 21:42

Send it my way if you don't want it

ShetlandWife · 11/11/2019 21:44

Yes, you will die if you drink it.

But also, you will die if you don't.

So my vote is for drink it!
