Does whiskey improve with age while bottled or is it only while its still in its barrel?

Inquisitive Idiot asked:


I’ve got a bottle of Jack Daniels Single Barrel that is dated 08-21-2007 that I originally bought for drinking on the day I get out of the military, possibly many years from now. Will it improve or is it now as good as it will ever be.

I’ve heard it turns into vinegar but I’m not sure if that’s true.

The bottle wellfilled and wellsealed bottle wellfilled and wellsealed bottle of whiskey does all of its aging in the same in 100 years as well drink it is left there for many years unlike wine whiskey does not.
For many years unlike wine whiskey will taste exactly the wood which is why it this weekend.

The barrel aging mellows and flavors it because of the types of wood they use. It is distilled and the glass is inert so it will absolutely not change at all in the bottle.
