Both contain enough alcohol so that they should be safe. So open them
when you are ready and taste. Most drinks of this sort do not change
much in taste or smell with time if they have not been opened. If
exposed to light, some will fade in color over time. Since the Baileys
contains cream, I wonder how well it remains mixed after very many
years, since I have never had a bottle of it this old. I have seen
bottles much older than these being sold at auction.
