Storage advice
For optimal storage of a Joven Mezcal (an unaged or lightly aged mezcal) follow these practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store at a stable cool temperature ideally between 15-20°C (59-68°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations which can affect quality and promote evaporation or oxidation.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or bright artificial light. UV exposure can degrade the mezcal over time.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cork or cap to minimize oxidation and evaporation. If opened reseal promptly after use to preserve the spirit’s integrity.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright to prevent contact of the liquid with the cork reducing the risk of cork degradation or leakage. This also helps maintain the seal integrity.
- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level between 50-70%. This prevents the cork from drying out (which could allow air in) or becoming too moist which might encourage mold and label damage.
- Special Storage Tips:
- Because Joven Mezcal is typically unaged or rested in inert containers like glass it is particularly sensitive to environmental fluctuations; storing in a place with minimal variation in temperature light and humidity is crucial for preserving its original characteristics.
- If the bottle is unopened it can be stored for extended periods under these conditions without quality loss.
- For opened bottles minimize headspace by consuming within a reasonable time frame or using inert gas sprays designed for spirits to reduce oxidation as mezcal does not benefit from long-term aging in the bottle.
By adhering to these storage conditions the mezcal’s quality flavor profile and shelf life can be effectively preserved.
