How do you tell if sloe gin goes bad?

Sloe Gin, like most alcohol products, don't really go "bad" as the alcohol kills the bacteria that could cause "badness". However, the taste will change over time as the solution oxidises, this is what happens to wine and why you tend not to drink wine that has been open for a long time; it's not bad it just doesn't taste as good. Sloe Gin tends to have more alcohol and sugar than wine so the "sloe gin" taste will last longer. We tend to find that after about 6 months after opening the taste gets a little "woody" and a bit like sherry. I sell sloe gin for a living and I often hear people tell me that they have bottles that have been on the go for anything up to 10 years and still taste ok. At this point they'll also generally say that "it's really strong in alcohol", which unfortunately is not true, the longer you leave the sloe gin, especially if the sloes are still in, the lower the alcohol gets; you are "compounding" not "fermenting"!
