old mold

hey everyone, im pretty new to brewing although ive had some fairly positive success stories with home brewing a couple small batches of beer and mead. I decided to try this cider mead recipe I found ( about a gallon, natural fermentation) it seemed to collect well and developed a effervescent smell, so i put an airlock on. But after about a week it collected a horrible looking black and white film on top of the liquid. Eventually it just became the joke between my gf and I ...ie a failed experiment and it sat there for a long time, probably 6 months. don't judge me. It never smelled or developed flies, and eventually we decided to toss it. Before we did, i noticed that the liquid was really clear. I racked some into a cup and tasted it and I thought it wasn't bad. (My gf might disagree). So I racked some into bottles and corked them and have been letting them sit for about 2 weeks. no further mold has appeared and they actually started fermenting again. (1 bottle popped the cork). I let some pressure out and im thinking bout keeping them. thoughts?
