I don't know if it goes bad, but I do know that it doesn't age in the bottle, only in the barrel.

If it was closed and stored okay (preferably dark and dry) it should be fine -
How does it taste?

Once a bottle of booze is opened, it can go bad, but it takes quite awhile.

I once bought a bottle of scotch for a housewarming party I threw. It got opened and I put it in the back of the shelf and forgot about it since I hate scotch. About 12 years later I looked at it and it had separated into two distinct layers and smelled like varnish.

Can't speak for rum specifically, but I would assume the same thing could happen. It also probably depends on how good the seal is (cork vs. screw on cap).

Rum goes bad immediately. Send me all your bad rum.

I've been told that I sometimes "go bad" after drinking rum.

I'm allergic to rum. Everytime I drink it I wake up in handcuffs....
