If it was scotch, they should have spelled it “whisky”. You're right:

I have family members that have experience with this, and they're not dead yet.Smart move. Has it been long enough since they drank it that you'll try it now? ;-)

It’s not likely drinkable, but I’m wondering if it is still flammable or just inert?

Look for the “Best by date: stamped on it”

“But, if the alcohol evaporated, won’t the bottles be half empty?”
Well there is a video at the ABC link. Bottles look 85% filled. And the Brand on the labels? “Old Smuggler” I kid you not, hahahah!

“Old Smuggler”
To add Old Smuggler is a legitimate Scottish Whiskey. Although it was known there were some counterfeit bottles during prohibition possibly coming out of canada.

I doubt he was a bootlegger. The bootleggers were over on Lake Champlain and the Hudson River, moving the hooch down from Canada into NYC.
It’s possible he had a connection with someone moving stuff down overland. More than likely he had the money to buy up scotch before prohibition set in and he was selling it to the locals.

“You can drink it. You can also drink turpentine.”
True. Many moonshiners added turpentine into the recipe.

No, some finer wine will continue to improve in the bottle if stored under proper temp and humidity conditions.

First house we ever owned was previously owned by a notorious bookie who is still living in Mexico. Old neighbor told us we should have checked the walls for $$$
