brake fluid recommendations

Is there a concern about the age of brake fluid? I've got an unopened, sealed bottle of Motul thats been sitting on my shelf for I don't know how long. Was going to use it to flush my clutch but wanted to tap the expertise on here first to see if I'd be wasting my time with it.

Should be OK, if it is still sealed. If it is a previously opened bottle, you need to worry about exposure to dust, contaminants and moisture, all of which could lower the boiling point of the brake fluid...obviously not good.
