Storage time for rye flour

Question, I still have some rye flour left over from test baking for Stan. Its been in the cabnit for a year. Anny thoughts on if its still good to use.

if it's wholemeal then 6 months is the usual recommendation - mostly due to the oils going rancid - if you know what rancid oils smell like and it smells OK then you might get away with it ...
