Storage advice
To optimally store Calvados (apple brandy) including the 15-year aged miniature:
- Temperature: Keep the storage temperature between 10°C and 15°C (50°F to 59°F). Avoid fluctuations or temperatures outside this range as excessive heat can lead to bitter taste from alcohol concentration and too cold conditions can inhibit flavor development.
- Light Exposure: Store in a dark location away from direct sunlight. UV and other light exposure can degrade the spirit quality over time.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is kept airtight. When unopened the factory seal suffices; for opened bottles reseal tightly to minimize oxidation which can deteriorate flavor.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright to keep the cork moist and prevent it from drying out or shrinking which could allow air ingress and spoilage.
- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity around 60% to 70%. This level prevents corks from drying (at low humidity) or mold growth (at high humidity) both of which can compromise the bottle's seal and quality.
- Special Storage Tips:
- For unopened bottles consistent cool and dark conditions with good humidity are key.
- For opened bottles minimize oxygen exposure by keeping the cap tightly sealed and store upright in a cool dark place. Consume within a couple of years for best quality.
Avoid storing Calvados near heat sources or in areas with excessive vibrations as these can negatively impact the aging and stability of the spirit.
Overall a stable cool moderately humid and dark environment with proper sealing and upright bottle position will preserve the quality and shelf life of Calvados effectively.
