What you have pictured is average 90 proof, 12 year old bourbon whiskey in a $15 dollar ceramic bottle made in china. No big deal.
This is correct. I'm a scotch man myself (bourbon isn't very complex or interesting in comparison), and letting the bottles sit is either neutral or bad, never good. I didn't want to sound like a dick, either, but had to chuckle a little.
