Storage advice

For optimal storage of Armagnac including long-aged varieties here are precise practical recommendations:

- Temperature: Store Armagnac in a cool place between 15-20°C (59-68°F). This moderate temperature range prevents degradation of the spirit. Avoid fluctuations or extremes since Armagnac is sensitive to temperature changes which can alter its flavor stability.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark environment away from any direct sunlight or strong artificial light. UV exposure can degrade the quality over time.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright. Unlike wine Armagnac bottles must be kept upright to prevent the high alcohol content from contacting and degrading the cork which could otherwise spoil the spirit.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cork or closure to avoid evaporation and oxidation once opened. The cork integrity is essential so a proper seal protects the quality.

- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level around 50-70% to keep the cork from drying out and shrinking. This protects the seal in unopened bottles and also prevents air ingress after opening.

- Vibration: Store the bottle in a stable vibration-free location. Movement or vibrations can accelerate chemical changes and degrade the spirit’s quality.

- Opened Bottles: After opening ensure the bottle is re-corked tightly and stored upright in the same cool dark stable conditions. Consumption within a reasonable timeframe is recommended as oxidation can slowly affect the flavor despite proper resealing.

In summary store Armagnac bottles upright in a cool (15-20°C) dark moderately humid vibration-free environment with a tight seal to best preserve their quality over time. These considerations apply both to unopened and opened bottles.
