Before getting into whisky, I had a bottle of Glenfiddich 12 that was opened a year ago and 80% full. Now that tasted watered down when I opened it again.
For the record, there's links I can pull up as well. But the simplest solution would be to try the test I mentioned yourself. Not that hard obv. To repeat what it is:
1. Identify a bottle you haven't opened in a few months
2. Go buy that same exact bottle
3. Pour a dram of each bottle and compare the taste of both
I did it with Lag 16 and it's pretty hard not to notice differences with a scotch like Lag 16. It's more about the opened bottle losing its character than its notes changing. The opened bottle will be much less impactful than the new bottle, guaranteed.
