haha! there is no aging in the bottle! just cause it is sitting in a bottle for 10yrs does not mean anything. 80% of the flavor is derived from the interaction with the wood. Higher temps means more interaction. 2yr old rum aged in a tropical climate is like 12yrs aged in the cold Scottish highlands. All whiskies essentially start out as a vodka (neutral grain spirit).
