Storage advice
For optimal storage of Aquavit consider these practical guidelines to preserve its quality and shelf life:
- Temperature: Store Aquavit in a cool environment ideally around 15°C to 18°C (59°F to 64°F) to avoid heat damage that can accelerate degradation. Avoid freezing or extreme temperature fluctuations.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light because UV rays can degrade flavor and potentially alter color especially in clear bottles.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle cap or cork is tightly sealed when not in use to minimize oxidation. Oxygen exposure can alter the flavor and quality over time after opening.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright rather than on its side. Unlike wine Aquavit does not benefit from cork moisture retention and upright storage prevents alcohol from degrading the seal or cap.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity to protect the label and cap but this is less critical than temperature and light. Excessive humidity can encourage mold on corks or labels but typically Aquavit bottles have screw caps reducing this risk.
- Opened Bottles: After opening limit exposure to air and consider storing opened bottles in the fridge especially if the Aquavit contains delicate herbal or spice notes that can deteriorate faster at room temperature. However refrigeration is not mandatory if consumed within a reasonable timeframe. Always reseal tightly.
Special tips specific to Aquavit:
- Since Aquavit can be matured and develop delicate aromas with natural spices maintaining a stable cool and dark storage condition is essential to preserve its balance and prevent flavor loss.
- Given Aquavit's typical clear glass bottles protect it aggressively from light exposure to avoid degradation.
Following these storage practices will maximize the lifespan and quality of Aquavit both unopened and after opening.
