Question:

Does age have any effect on whiskey after its bottled?


Answers:
Yes and no.

The aging process is simply done in barells. So if you own a bottle of 8 year burbon that you bought 20 years ago, its still an 8 year burbon. .

Now, if the bottle has been opened, that's a different story. The quality actually starts to diminish once the bottle is opened. The alcohol starts to absorb moisture from the air that gets trapped inside of the bottle. This is a bad thing.

I don't believe so no. The "aging" that is done to it is done in wooden barrels.

Actually, no.
Once it's bottled, whiskey being commonly around 40% alcohol, is a very stable product. If the seal is kept air tight and the bottle stored in a cool dark place, it will last for centuries. But the quality will remain about the same as the time of bottling.

ageing effect on the whiskey after it is also bottled the fermentation is on. The more the age more it is precious the whiskey and the price

I don't think so, most liquors & such have a stronger & fresher taste, the longer they're kept. You may want to check your local liquor store to be sure though.
