You need to factor in evaporation. The longer the whiskey is in the barrel the more that evaporates (the "angel's share").

As I understand it: if you buy a barrel, you're going to get 180-200 bottles. But remember also that whiskey is almost always diluted when it's bottled; the cask strength will be 50-60, and the bottle will be 40-50.
