di man xa maexpire. molain lang ang lasa kay tungod man na sa plastic bottle (but if you think nga pagmalain na ang lasa, expired na na, so be it hehehe)..i think nakabasa ko sa yahoo article bahin ani..

Try to transfer the contents to a glass bottle, and see if the taste is similar after a few days/weeks. Beside this, let the remaining distilled water remain in the plastic container (your control).

People have totally forgotten the scientific method (experimentation).

According to the International Bottled Water Association, the FDA has not established a shelf life for water, so you can store those bottles indefinitely. As long as the packaging is intact and unopened, you shouldn't need to worry about any type of bacteria or microorganisms growing in the water. If the bottle has been opened, however, it can grow bacteria and algae if it is not consumed within 2 weeks.

The reason why water taste different after long period of storage is that, water picks up flavors from its packaging. These flavors, combined with warm storage temperatures, contribute to the "generation of musty tastes. It won't affect your health anyway.

it tastes bad (bitter taste) for there are less dissolved salts in there, like metallic carbonates (Calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate...etc) and other salts that gave it taste, when you boil water the evaporates are mostly water, leaving the salts at the boiling pot, then you have to pass this evaporates into a condenser to produce the distilled water. One factor that alters the taste of distilled water and that is the absorption of Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere forming carboxilic acid, decreasing the pH of the distillate as well as making the taste a little bit sour.

mental_floss Blog Why Does Bottled Water Have an Expiration Date?

Have you ever wondered why that bottle of Poland Spring has a “drink by” date on it when common sense dictates that water doesn’t go bad? You can thank the great state of New Jersey. A 1987 NJ state law required all food products sold there to display an expiration date of two years or less from the date of manufacture. Labeling, separating and shipping batches of expiration-dated water to the Garden State seemed a little inefficient to bottled water producers, so most of them simply started giving every bottle a two-year expiration date, no matter where it was going.
Now, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has never established or suggested a limitation on the shelf life of bottled water as long as it’s produced in accordance with regulations and the bottle remains properly sealed. Makes sense, because it’s, you know…water. Even Dirty Jerz caught on to this fact and amended the law a few years ago. But the expiration date has been an industry norm for so long that many producers have just kept it on there.
