@@503appie so how are you supposed to save the cork on a scotch bottle? just rebottle it every year?

[@idontwanttopickone]

The alcohol evaporation of high strength whiskey should keep the cork damp enough for it to remain intact. Whiskey corks are also smaller than a wine bottle cork, so the amount of moisture needed to keep the cork from crumbling is much lower. The small size of the cork is also why you can pull it out with your hands. But, if you store whiskey for long enough, the cork will likely fail and it's a good idea to decant older whiskeys into another bottle once opened, replace the cork with a newer one or simply drink it in one sitting as they are more likely to break from repeated opening and closing.

[@AndyRock1]

Just some general knowledge for everyone. Once alcohol has been bottled, it no longer ages. This goes for almost all spirits. Spirits does not include beer or wine. Some spirits are purposefully bottled with something to continue the aging process such as a piece of the barrel or casque they were aged in, which allows aging to continue to a lesser extent.

[@ddelimar]

Just depends on how old the actual bottle is and most importantly, how it was kept. If you're keeping your whisky bottle for a long time, you should expect the cork to dry off and because of that (and the fact it could then introduce oxygen in the bottle) you should wet the cork from time to time. On the other hand, you shouldn't keep your whisky bottles horizontally as that will also affect the cork. Unfortunately, when you're buying a bottle from a previous owner who didn't keep it as they should you can end up with a cat in a bag - oxidized whisky not worth anything. I guess it can happen even if you buy from a store where they didn't storage it properly. And let's assume older whiskey that's more expensive can sometimes stay way too long on a shelf.

[@ddelimar]

And just to make it as clear as possible. The age statement on the whiskey is completely irrelevant to proper storage practices. This can happen to any bottle.
