    I wish they would be I don't think so.

    "Unlike wine, once whisky, and spirits in general, are bottled they don’t age."

    Then you still have an 8-year-old Scotch. Scotch is aged in barrels. Once bottled the aging process stops.

    Shame on you! My bottles of scotch only last a few days when opened. Drink my friend and enjoy!!!

    It might have mellowed some - depending a temperature differentials, light, etc. But its still an 8 year old cask aged scotch. So I dunno the rules there.

    nope!

    aging is done in the barrels, that's it!

    you can store it for years but the flavor will be the same.
