Storage advice
To best preserve the quality and shelf life of Tequila Añejo (100% agave) follow these practical storage recommendations:
- Temperature: Store tequila at a cool stable temperature ideally between 50°F and 60°F (10°C to 16°C). Temperatures above 65°F (18°C) or fluctuating temperatures can accelerate degradation so avoid heat sources and temperature swings.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or bright artificial light. Light exposure can deteriorate the tequila’s delicate compounds leading to altered flavor and aroma.
- Sealing:
- For unopened bottles the factory seal is sufficient and the tequila can last for years without quality loss if stored properly.
- For opened bottles reseal tightly immediately after use to minimize air exposure. If the original cork or seal wears out consider transferring the tequila to an airtight container to slow oxidation which negatively impacts flavor over time.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright not on their side. Unlike wine tequila’s high alcohol content can degrade corks if stored horizontally potentially affecting flavor and risking leakage.
- Humidity: While no specific humidity requirements are usually noted for tequila (unlike wine or cigars) storing in a normal indoor humidity environment away from excessive moisture or dryness helps protect any cork components and seals.
- Special Storage Tips for Tequila Añejo:
- Avoid storing near stoves heaters or windows where heat or temperature fluctuations occur.
- Do not refrigerate or freeze; this is unnecessary and can affect taste or bottle integrity.
- Opened bottles are best consumed within about one year to enjoy optimal flavor though unopened bottles can remain stable for many years given proper conditions.
