One of the nice things about scotch (or any whisky for that matter) is that it doesn't deteriorate until the bottle is opened. (But the cork get a bit 'funky'.) A quick Google search indicates that Haig started producing this in 1888, but who knows the age of your bottle yet it's supposedly a decent blend.
