Age with whiskey doesn't necessarily help. At all. If anything the age is a bit of a red-herring as it's really the conditions that it's stored in that will deliver the effect. And as with all chemical reactions you will get a peak time when the kinetically favourable products are at their peak and the most thermodynamically stable ones haven't yet begun to dominate the mix. I had a glass of something distilled the year I was born (I was in a Because I Can mood) and it basically destroyed my eyesight, and not in the good way.
