You can also get liquors that are aged 25+ years here. Again, it’s hugely expensive because of the outlay vs. return ratio.
It’s not just that, it’s also that alcohol evaporates. I mostly know single malts - where the evaporation is called ‘the angel’s share’. It’s a couple of percent per year of storage (in Scotland). That might not sound like much but after 30 years at 2% you’ll have lost about 45% of your initial volume.
