With something like bourbon (my favorite) opening the bottle and letting it sit for long periods can actually further enhance the taste.
I doubt I'd notice on this beer! LOL

And the same is true with beer! Many folks age Bourbon Barrel beers.
The deal with IPAs/DIPAs is that they're high in hops and those hops go stale fairly quickly. The aroma and flavor deteriorates drastically in a short amount of time compared to other beers.
That's why most craft guys don't like when breweries don't date their bottles/cans. If they're being sold in a store that doesn't get a lot of traffic, you might be buying a bottle that's six months old and have no clue.
