Storage advice

For optimal storage of Pot Still Whiskey adhere to the following practical recommendations to preserve quality and extend shelf life:

- Temperature: Store whiskey in a cool and consistent environment ideally between 59-70°F (15-21°C) to maintain flavor stability. Avoid temperature fluctuations and extremes that can cause expansion contraction or evaporation of the spirit.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and ultraviolet light as light exposure can degrade whiskey’s color and flavor over time. Store it in a dark place such as a cupboard or closet.

- Sealing: Always ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to minimize air contact. For unopened bottles the original factory seal is sufficient. For opened bottles re-cork or tightly screw the cap back on immediately after use to limit oxidation and evaporation.

- Bottle Position: Store whiskey bottles upright to prevent the alcohol from contacting and deteriorating the cork. This also helps avoid leakage and contamination. Occasionally tilting a bottle stored long term can help keep cork moisture without immersing the cork.

- Humidity: Maintain a moderate relative humidity level around 50-60%. Too dry an environment can cause corks to dry out and shrink increasing air ingress while excessive humidity can promote mold growth or label damage. Stable indoor humidity is preferred.

- Special Considerations: Do not store whiskey in cold places like refrigerators or freezers which could cause cloudiness or adversely affect quality. Avoid frequent moving of bottles to prevent label damage or breakage.
