For Joven Mezcal optimal storage focuses on preserving its integrity by controlling environmental factors and handling both unopened and opened bottles properly:

- Temperature: Store at a stable cool temperature ideally between 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid heat fluctuations or high temperatures above 25°C (77°F) which can degrade the spirit’s quality over time.

- Light Exposure: Keep bottles away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light to prevent chemical changes that can alter flavor and color. Store in a dark place or inside a cabinet with minimal light exposure.

- Sealing:
- Unopened bottles: Ensure factory seals remain intact; these provide optimal preservation.
- Opened bottles: Reseal tightly with the original cork or cap to minimize oxidation and evaporation. Using a vacuum seal or inert gas spray designed for spirits can further reduce oxidation.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than on their side. Unlike wine mezcal has a higher alcohol content and does not benefit from cork wetting; storing upright avoids cork degradation and contamination risk.

- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity levels between 50% and 70% to prevent cork drying if cork-sealed. Too low humidity can shrink corks risking air ingress; excessive humidity might promote mold growth on corks and labels.

- Additional Tips Specific to Mezcal (Joven):
- Since Joven Mezcal is unaged or lightly aged it is more sensitive to environmental changes than barrel-aged spirits.
- Store in a room with minimal variation in temperature and humidity to maintain consistency and avoid flavor alterations caused by environmental stress.
- Avoid places prone to vibrations or rapid temperature swings (e.g. near heating devices or windows).

For opened bottles consume within a reasonable period (a few months) for best quality as prolonged exposure to oxygen can gradually diminish flavor despite good resealing.
