Wolf,

The problem with whiskey is that it is aged many years. Lets say a store is selling an 8 year old whiskey, the question is were all 8 Pesachs done properly. With many companies this is not an issue. However, some of these ARE Jewish companies (Segrams is a Jew IIRC) and thus one needs to ensure that the whiskey he/she is drinking was sold every pesach.

The question is NOT how long it has been in the possession of the store, or what they did with it this past pesach, the issue is the life of whiskey in the bottle.

Keep in mind due to aging the questions regarding alcohol are much different than the usual questions regarding a Waldbaums or a Pathmark
