Storage advice
For optimal storage of Calvados consider the following practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store between 10°C and 15°C (50°F to 59°F). Temperatures above 20°C can cause over-concentration of alcohol and bitterness while temperatures too low may inhibit flavor development. Aim for a consistent cool temperature without major fluctuations.
- Light Exposure: Keep the Calvados in a dark place away from direct sunlight especially UV light as it can degrade flavor and aroma compounds.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is airtight. Calvados bottles typically have cork seals; maintaining humidity helps prevent cork drying and shrinkage which can allow oxidation. After opening reseal the bottle tightly to minimize oxygen exposure.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright rather than on its side. Unlike wine Calvados should be stored upright to avoid constant contact between the spirit and cork which might lead to cork deterioration and oxidation.
- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity at around 60% to 70%. This range prevents the cork from drying out (which leads to oxidation) and avoids excessive moisture that could promote cork failure or mold growth on labels.
- Opened Bottles: Once opened Calvados should be kept tightly sealed and stored in a cool dark place to reduce oxidation and flavor loss. Ideally consume within 1-2 years after opening to preserve quality.
These guidelines are based on Calvados’s nature as an aged apple brandy and the need to minimize oxidation and flavor degradation over time. Proper environment control—temperature light humidity and bottle position—will help preserve the beverage’s quality both unopened and after opening.
