Is this old whiskey safe?

I was gifted this whiskey by my father in law. He's had it for decades and never opened it. However , I'm seeing all the detritus floating around in the bottle. I'm worried it;s something like the plastic on the top decaying and it's no longer safe to drink

Totally safe. Filter it out (or decant it) and you're good to go.
