When you have a 12 year old (scotch, bourbon etc.) that's from it siting in barrels/casks aging for 12 years. After you remove liquor from barrels, casks etc it stops aging. In 10 years that bottle is still a 12 year old bottle of X.
The bottle might be 22 years old but liquor inside the bottle is still 12 years old X.
I will have to find where I read this and post it.
