No, it ages in the distillery, in a barrel. Whether 8, 10, 13, 15, or 18 years, it does get smoother in the barrel, but stops aging when bottled. Wine is the only alcohol which continues aging in the bottle.

Once the Scotch has been distilled, no, the alcohol content will not change significantly. Actually it is most likely to go down, as the alcohol evaporates.

Not as well as they do in barrels, but they do taste less harsh after a few years in the bottle.

It generally does improve the taste but it depends entirely on what you percieve as 'better'
