Fisko, Ergo Sum

Will Baude claims that he makes his whiskey sours with
Van Winkle 7-year whiskey-- 1 part sugar, 4 parts lemon juice, 12 parts whiskey, Marasca cherry
and yet, as we can see from this website, Old Rip Van Winkle brand whiskey is aged no less than 10 years:
All Van Winkle bourbons are aged a minimum of 10 years in charred mountain oak barrels. These lightly charred barrels give the whiskey a smoother flavor than most other whiskies on the market today. Each warm and cold season that the whiskey passes through the charcoal layer of the oak barrel staves, the spirit picks up color and a new richness-layer of flavor.
Which is it, Will? And what else are you and your old-media cronies hiding from us? Don't make me unleash the Pajamahadeen!
