Storage advice
For optimal preservation of Aquavit follow these practical storage recommendations:
- Temperature: Store Aquavit at a consistent cool temperature ideally around room temperature (15–20°C or 59–68°F). Refrigeration is not necessary and can be avoided but chilling before serving is common practice.
- Light Exposure: Protect Aquavit from direct sunlight and strong artificial light by keeping it in a dark place such as a cupboard bar cabinet or a room with minimal light. Light can degrade the quality and flavor stability over time.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cork or cap. This prevents oxidation and evaporation which can alter the spirit’s flavor and aroma especially after opening.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright rather than lying on its side. This helps maintain the cork integrity (if corked) avoiding contamination or seepage and prevents undesired interaction between the liquid and cork.
- Humidity: Moderate humidity is preferable but not critical. Typical indoor conditions suffice; excessive moisture might affect corks but Aquavit’s bottling usually involves secure sealing minimizing this risk.
- Special Storage Tips for Unopened and Opened Bottles:
- Unopened bottles can be kept at room temperature in a dark stable environment indefinitely without significant loss of quality as Aquavit does not improve notably with age once bottled.
- Opened bottles should be re-capped securely and stored under the same cool dark conditions. To maintain freshness and avoid flavor deterioration it is best to consume opened Aquavit within a reasonable timeframe (generally a year) as extended air exposure may subtly impact the herbal and spice notes.
These guidelines help maintain Aquavit’s character by minimizing exposure to factors like temperature fluctuations light and air that can degrade flavor and aroma over time.
