For optimal storage of Aged Rum adhere to the following practical recommendations to maintain quality and prolong shelf life for both unopened and opened bottles:

- Temperature: Store rum at a stable cool temperature ideally between 59–68°F (15–20°C). Avoid heat and temperature fluctuations as these accelerate evaporation and degrade flavor.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and UV light which can break down compounds and affect taste. If the rum came in a box storing it inside the box adds extra protection from light.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed at all times to prevent air ingress which causes oxidation and flavor loss. For bottles with natural cork check the cork condition regularly and rotate the bottle every few months to avoid cork drying and deterioration. Do not use pour spouts or leave the bottle unsealed for extended periods.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright. Unlike wine aged rum’s high alcohol content can degrade corks over time if stored on their side leading to air exposure and loss of quality.

- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity to prevent corks from drying out and to preserve the label’s integrity. Avoid very dry or excessively humid environments.

- Additional Tips:
- For opened bottles that are less than half full consider transferring the remaining rum to a smaller bottle to reduce air exposure and slow oxidation.
- Drink opened rum ideally within 6 months to one or two years for best flavor as quality gradually diminishes after opening.
- Avoid storing rum in the freezer since extremely low temperatures are unnecessary and can dull flavor; rum typically freezes below -17°C (0°F) which is colder than household freezers.

Following these guidelines will help preserve the aroma flavor and quality of your aged rum over time.
