My very tasty home brew beer takes only weeks from brewing to consuming...

That’s awesome. But these guys are going the harder stuff and basically worked a way to age a spirit to have the chemical makeup of a 20 year old spirit in a time frame of a week. Having had a taster from their company, I can tell you it’s good but my pallet is not refined enough to discern if it true tastes like a 20 year old spirit or not.
If they can successfully replicate the full chemical profile of old booze good for them. I suspect some of the attraction to old booze is that it is rare (read expensive).
I am more into session beer drinking so I don't want to get inebriated too quickly.

PS for years I had some 16 YO scotch that was old before I put it in my cupboard for a couple decades. I don't recall it tasting any better after being 40 YO scotch.

I did a similar experiment once ,
me and a buddy got a bottle of very cheap Scotch ,
We took a long narrow piece of oak and gently charred the outside with a culinary blow torch ,
About 10 minutes in the bottle was enough to impart the flavour , we made up a few test samples which we passed around to other whiskey drinkers , we got an overwhelmingly positive reaction from what was in fact the cheapest rot gut whiskey on the shelf .
While some whiskeys may well appreciate in value over time , I dont think it changes much in the bottle as long as air and light are kept away .

that I can appreciate as i don't like to get blotto, but a nip of high ABV rum keeps the germs out of you as it kills them all. A little in your coffee and you have a good warm feeling without the I love you man speeches.

agreed. As has been for as long as I will admit too, I have a single once each NAMM day, never been sick as it kills everything. Also hand some out to friends and well wishers to keep the NAMM cooties off.
