re: Opened my 60+ year old bottle of 20 year old J&B scotch

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.

yep
i imagine if it's 60+ years old, it had a cork, right?

it doesn't.
scotch ages due to reactions between it and the wooden cask it sits in.
opening a 60 year old bottle that was aged for 20 years doesn't make it a scotch that was aged 80 years.
