Reply to comment by Sparky81 in ELI5: When a bottle of whisky says 25 years, did they really make millions of gallons of that whisky 25 years ago? by wagmoo

What do they base the age on? Like how long it has been in the barrel?

From the time it was barreled to the time it was bottled.

The time it spent in the barrel. Once it's bottled, it doesn't age anymore.
