Storage advice
For optimal storage of Calvados including a 12-year-old single cask variety follow these practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store Calvados in a cool environment with a stable temperature ideally between 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F). Temperatures below or above this range can negatively affect the flavor profile—too warm risks accelerating evaporation and bitterness too cold can inhibit flavor expression.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and fluorescent/LED lighting which can heat the spirit and degrade its quality over time.
- Sealing: Always ensure the bottle is sealed tightly to prevent oxidation and evaporation. The cork or closure should remain moist; if it dries out air can enter and spoil the Calvados.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright to avoid prolonged contact between the Calvados and the cork which can dry the cork and compromise the seal. Unlike wine spirits do not benefit from lying horizontally.
- Humidity: Maintain humidity levels between 60% and 70% to protect the cork from drying out and to avoid mold growth. However levels shouldn’t be excessively high to prevent cork deterioration.
- Storage for Opened Bottles: Once opened the best practice is to keep the bottle sealed tightly and store it in a cool dark place. If you do not plan to finish the bottle soon consider transferring the remaining spirit into a smaller airtight container to minimize oxygen presence helping preserve flavor. Refrigeration is generally not required but can be used if it helps maintain a cool and stable temperature without causing cork issues.
