Yeah, I think it's difficult to tell, and I guess it depends on the
bottle. My Grand Marnier bottle doesn't have the same cork my Bols
Blue Curaçao has, for instance...

I asked you so because I heard there are collectors of vintage (or
disappeared) spirits, like pre-ban Absinthe (which usually dates back
to 1910-1915, so it can be more than 90 years old). I was just
wondering whether those bottles are just good for a collection or can
be significantly similar to what the liquid tasted like back then :-).
There would be the problem about the storage conditions, as well...
for such an old bottle, they could be mostly unknown (or anyway you'd
have to trust the seller, which is the same concept...), so it would
be reasonable to assume that no particular care has been addressed,
averagely, to the storage (exposure to high temperatures for
instance).




Ciao!
