Storage advice

To optimally store Armagnac and preserve its quality and shelf life consider the following practical recommendations regarding temperature light sealing bottle position humidity and special tips for both unopened and opened bottles:

- Temperature: Store Armagnac in a cool stable environment ideally between 59-68°F (15-20°C). Avoid extreme temperatures which can alter the spirit’s chemical structure and flavor integrity.

- Light Exposure: Keep Armagnac away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light. Exposure to light especially UV rays can degrade the spirit over time and negatively impact its quality.

- Bottle Position: Always store Armagnac bottles upright. Because of the high alcohol content storing bottles on their side can cause the cork to deteriorate and affect the liquid’s taste.

- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level around 50-70%. This prevents the cork from drying out and losing its seal which could allow oxidation. Too high humidity may damage labels but does not directly affect the spirit.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle closure is airtight to prevent air ingress. Once opened reseal the bottle tightly after each use to minimize oxidation. For long-term storage of opened bottles consider using inert gas sprays designed for spirits to further reduce oxidation risk.

- Special Storage Tips: Store the bottle in a vibration-free stable environment to avoid upsetting the spirit’s maturation or chemical stability. Avoid storing near appliances that emit heat or vibrations.

- Opened Bottles: After opening Armagnac is less prone to rapid deterioration than wines but oxidation still occurs. Consume within 1-2 years for best quality keeping the bottle tightly sealed upright in a cool dark place with controlled humidity.

These guidelines will help maintain the integrity and flavor of Armagnac over time ensuring it remains at optimal quality whether unopened or once opened.
