The first of the bottles has defrosted this morning and has returned to its original vg gloopiness, the odour is what I remember and detect no funkiness there, The colour is darker through oxygen content (half full bottle) but not worryingly as its still transluscent, probably the colour of very weak tea.
More updates over the next few days.

I also have 4 100ml bottles of nic sitting here that I will never use , had it about 1 1/2 yrs but should still be fine as it has never been opened.

How minging is minging flavourtank? It would have to be pretty rank for me to bin anything I must admit, being at heart a tightwad! If it really is past it's best, then I'd just flush it down the loo or sink . . . . with lots of water to dilute the potency. it smells like old popcorn and makes my mixes taste really off, it's vg based, Even I might ditch that then flavourtank with a tear in my eye, no point going to the bother if it's giving you a bad taste.

I'm pretty sure it's the nic as the concentrate was new, Just another question....... Is it alright to freeze nic in plastic bottles (like pill bottles from chemist or is glass better?

Glass is sooooooooooooo much better flavourtank, Amber colour preferably - it'll help slow down considerably the degradation of your nic base and you won't have the concern of plasticizers leaching into your nic. I pick mine up from the Pharmacy counter in Boots, ever so reasonable they are. Think the last lot of 300ml bottles I got were something like 56p each - smaller sizes were even less.

It'll be fine, some of the nicotine may have oxidised thus reducing the strength but it won't poison you.......unless you drink it You might find that the carrier hasn't fared so well and that'll be noticed when you use it in a mix and it tastes funny. I'd try a small mix and see.
