Storage advice

To optimally store Tequila Blanco (100% agave) the following practical recommendations should be observed to maintain its quality and shelf life:

- Temperature: Store tequila at a stable cool temperature ideally between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C). Some experts suggest that 50°F to 55°F (10°C to 13°C) is also good for liquor storage but staying within this range avoids accelerated aging or flavor degradation.

- Light Exposure: Keep tequila in a dark place away from direct sunlight or artificial light sources. Light exposure can damage the flavor compounds and alter the spirit over time.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than on their side. Unlike wine tequila should be kept standing to avoid prolonged contact of the liquid with the cork which can degrade the cork and affect the tequila's quality.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed after each opening. This prevents air oxidation which can degrade the tequila’s aroma and taste. For opened bottles minimizing air contact is key so if the bottle’s volume drops significantly decanting into a smaller container with minimal headspace is advisable to slow oxidation.

- Humidity: Humidity is less critical for tequila compared to wine; however keeping the storage area with moderate humidity avoids cork drying and brittleness. A generally normal indoor humidity level is sufficient to prevent cork damage.

- Special Tips for Opened Bottles: Once opened it is best to consume the tequila within 6 months to 1 year for optimal freshness. Avoid refrigeration or freezing as very low temperatures can alter mouthfeel and cause compounds to separate; room temperature storage as described above is preferred.

Applying these storage practices ensures the tequila retains its intended quality both before and after opening preserving its aroma flavor and integrity for an extended period.
