Storage advice

For optimal storage of Armagnac the following practical recommendations should be observed to best preserve its quality and shelf life:

- Temperature: Store Armagnac in a cool environment ideally between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations or excessively warm or cold conditions as these can degrade the spirit over time.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light as light exposure can deteriorate the spirit’s quality.

- Sealing: Ensure the cork seal remains intact and in good condition. Since Armagnac bottles are sealed with cork maintaining cork integrity is important to avoid oxidation. Moderate humidity (around 50-70%) helps prevent the cork from drying out and shrinking.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright to prevent the high alcohol content from contacting the cork which can cause the cork to degrade and potentially taint the Armagnac.

- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity levels between 50% and 70%. This humidity range preserves the cork without encouraging mold growth.

- Vibration: Store Armagnac in a stable vibration-free environment to prevent disturbance of the liquid’s quality.

Additional notes for unopened and opened bottles:

- Once bottled Armagnac does not age further so storage primarily aims at preserving the liquid in its current state.

- For unopened bottles follow all the above parameters strictly to maintain quality over time.

- For opened bottles ensure the bottle is tightly resealed and stored upright in the same cool dark and stable environment. Minimize oxygen exposure by using the original cork or airtight stopper to reduce oxidation and preserve flavor.

These storage conditions will help ensure the Armagnac remains in optimal condition for extended periods without degradation.
