My wife's uncle gave me a 50yo bottle of Canadian Club a few years ago. Drinking that one slowly, very tasty.

He stopped by the other day (I wasn't there) and left a similar aged bottle of Seagram's 7. Though this one is in a plastic bottle and I think it's unopened. Just checking if it's safe to drink from a plastic bottle that old. I'm not a big drinker and never really tried Seagram's 7 much. Pretty sure it mixes well with 7up, but not sure what else it goes well with. Probably leave it out during my Poker game this weekend.

It should be fine to drink. Age won’t change much in glass or plastic. Unless it’s been left out in sunlight. That can ruin it for sure.
 
This.

I have a bottle of seagrams VO from 1983, was my grandfather’s. Just opened it last year at a small family get together and had a drink of it with his great grandchildren. I don’t recall it being to good but maybe never was, I have had it in a dark cabinet since I got it. We are gathering tomorrow too, will break it out again. Sentimental for sure, thanks for the reminder.

I don't recall anyone, ever drinking Seagrams 7 straight. I've always known it as a mixer. With 7up it's a '7&7'.

I'll have to figure out how old this bottle is.

Agree, grandfather called it a “highball” bourbon or whiskey and ginger ale or 7-up if I recall right.

It's VERY good, but depending on the price of admission might be a pass (not like I'm ever going to find one anyway)
Kinda falls in between the full proof and the 107 in flavor

Aging stops once it’s bottled, so a 50 year old bottle would be similar to a fresh bottle assuming good storage conditions.
