Storage advice

For optimal storage of Calvados including an XO aged around 6 years the following practical recommendations apply:

- Temperature: Store Calvados in a cool stable environment between 45-60°F (7-15°C) ideally around 55°F (13°C). Avoid temperature fluctuations or extremes as heat accelerates evaporation and oxidation damaging the spirit’s quality.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light. Light exposure can degrade the flavor and color over time.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is sealed tightly after each use. A well-sealed bottle prevents oxidation which can deteriorate the flavor and aroma.

- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright. Unlike wine spirits like Calvados have high alcohol content that can damage corks if in contact for long periods risking seal failure and oxidation.

- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level (around 50%) to preserve the cork condition without encouraging mold growth; however since the bottle is stored upright humidity is less critical than for wines.

- Additional Tips for Opened Bottles: Once opened Calvados should be stored in the same conditions and consumed within 1-2 years to avoid flavor loss due to slow oxidation. Keep the cap or cork tightly closed and avoid prolonged air exposure.
