My wife's grandmother is remodeling her kitchen - and in the process of emptying her cabinets - we happened upon several bottles of Whisky that appear to have been there for the last 25-30 years.

I do not know much about Whisky, and I know there are some members who have quite the collections. From what limited research I was able to accomplish online, I was brought to understand that Whisky no longer ages once in the bottle. With that in mind - is it safe to assume that an average bottle of Whisky purchased 30 years ago remains an average bottle of Whisky - it was simply purchased 30 years ago?

Are any of these worth drinking?

I appreciate any help our Whisky aficionados could provide!

Thanks in advance, Erik

Ballantine's Finest Blended Scotch Whisky 86 Proof 4/5 Quart

Two random boxes of cognac (doubt these are special)
