Doesn't it have to age in the barrel to actually age?

Doing so adds a specific flavor to the whiskey. It is still an old whiskey if it's sitting in a bottle though.
 
It lasts forever, but like the above said, something like baileys with lots of additives can go bad since the additives do go bad
 
I suppose you are talking about St Brendans Irish Cream? That is only good for about a year. It will not hurt you to drink it, but it will be all clumpy and taste bad.

As for what everyone else is saying about scotch and whiskey et all. It technically will last for a long time (hundreds of years) if the cork stays good (or what ever system they use to seal it) and it is kept in a cool dry place out of sunlight, but it will not age much more once bottled. The longer the pre-bottle ageing is the more true this is. If a alcohol was bottled this month it will probably improve over the next several months, but if it sat in barrels aging for 10 years it will not improve much (if at all) after bottling. If it has been in contact with air (a bad seal on the bottle) it will pretty much go bad in a few days (the alcohol evaporates from it.) Heat and sunlight can both break down the alcohol and create bad flavors. This holds true for most spirits, but other liqueurs, malts, and wines are different.
