Do spirits "go bad"?
I attended a few seminars hosted by Paul Pacult who writes The Spirits Journal (www.spiritjournal.com). I remember him saying something along the lines that you should consume the whole bottle within 2 months once opened. He has a very gifted sense of taste so I am sure most of us wouldn't notice any changes that quick.
Also, cream type liquors (Bailey's) should always be stored in the fridge. Same with Vermouth.
UNICUM
Zwack is lighter, less intense version of Unicum. Much friendlier to US tastes. You can now buy Unicum in the US. I have both in the fridge in my home bar.
Alexander Keith's in LA?
They are trying to market it in Buffalo as a Canadian craft brew. they been brewing it in Canada for a zillion years. We've tried it and its nothing special at all. Kind of tastes along the lines of Smithwicks in my opinion.
