Storage advice
For optimal storage of Armagnac particularly vintage bottles like from 2006 apply these practical guidelines:
- Temperature: Store Armagnac in a cool stable environment between 15-20°C (59-68°F). Avoid extreme heat or cold fluctuations to prevent alterations to the spirit’s quality and flavor stability.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light as light can degrade the spirit over time.
- Sealing: Once bottled the seal (usually a cork) should remain intact. To preserve cork integrity maintain moderate humidity around 50-70% so the cork does not dry out or degrade which could lead to evaporation or oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright so that the spirit does not come into contact with the cork. This prevents the high alcohol content from degrading the cork and altering Armagnac’s taste.
- Humidity: Moderate humidity levels (50-70%) are ideal to protect the cork while excessive humidity is unnecessary but should not be extremely dry.
- Vibrations: Avoid storing near vibrating appliances or in places with frequent movement as vibrations may accelerate chemical reactions and negatively impact quality.
- Unopened vs. Opened Bottles:
- Unopened bottles can be stored for many years under these conditions without aging further inside the bottle as Armagnac does not mature once bottled.
- Opened bottles should be resealed tightly and kept in the same cool dark environment. Consumption time after opening can vary but prolonged exposure to air should be minimized to preserve flavor.
