Storage advice
For optimal storage of Aquavit to preserve its quality and shelf life follow these practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store between 55°F to 65°F (13°C to 18°C). This range is ideal to maintain the spirit’s integrity without risking flavor degradation or volatility from temperature fluctuations.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight. Light exposure can cause unwanted chemical changes affecting both flavor and appearance.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed when not in use. This prevents oxidation and evaporation that can compromise the spirit's aromas and potency.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright. This avoids prolonged contact between the alcohol and the cork or cap preserving flavor and preventing potential corroding or leakage.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity—around 50–70% is good to prevent the cork from drying out and shrinking if the bottle has a cork stopper. This is less critical if the bottle uses a screw cap.
- Opened Bottles: Once opened reseal immediately and store as above in a cool dark place. Unlike wine Aquavit’s high alcohol content provides stability but prolonged air exposure should be minimized to maintain its quality.
- Special Notes: Since some Aquavits are barrel-aged and contain subtle spice and oak nuances avoid storing them in places with strong odors or drastic temperature swings that might alter delicate flavors developed during maturation.
Following these storage guidelines helps maintain the Aquavit’s aroma flavor and clarity over extended periods.
