Thanks again!
Twist cap or cork? With liquor that has cork caps, if they have been on their sides, or if the liquid has otherwise contacted the cork, it will likely have ruined, or at least unfavorably altered, them. If its a twist cap, less of an issue. If they have been standing upright (so the cork hasn't been wet), they should still be pretty dang good and with little to no change. If they weren't open, there isn't a sufficient amount of air in there to cause oxidation. And even if there is, there is argument as to whether or not that is bad in the case of liquor.

I think your question was already answered (drink up and see!), but thought I'd add that extra bit.
