You know it doesn't age once it's in the bottle. It's still a 20 year old scotch




Not true, it's stops aging but the flavor can change.

wine can age and change flavor, but whiskey does not.

I actually don't know if scotch changes in the bottle or not, but wine 'ages' due to slow, long term chemical reactions that are facilitated by the semi permeability of the cork. I would expect that spirits would also change over time if the bottle is sealed with a cork.

If the flavor of whiskey changes in the bottle something is wrong with it
