If lye is stored in glass or stainless and sealed well, it shouldn't have degraded.
 
Be sure to store Lye in its dry form. Once its mixed in solution it is alot more active and will react easier to any contaminant.

My wife makes soap from chemical grade lye and that stuff is brutally active in solution form.
