Now if you put them in a decanter, a certain amount of the alcohol with evaporate, but in a sealed bottle nothing is going to change. I've heard all the myths about headspace, etc., I just don't buy it because in my 44 years of drinking bourbon, I just haven't found it to be true. It's not like a cigar where the complexion will change over time in a humidor, it's in a sealed bottle. Whiskey does not age in a bottle. 

I wondered about that myself, when he said that.  However, I wasn't about to piss on his parade while he was proudly sharing some of his collection with me.
