Storage advice

To optimally store London Dry Gin follow these practical recommendations:

- Temperature: Store gin at a consistent cool temperature ideally between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid extreme heat or cold as these fluctuations can degrade the gin’s quality and aroma compounds. For opened bottles cooler conditions closer to 4°C can further slow oxidation and preserve flavor longer but are not strictly necessary.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight. Light exposure can alter the chemical composition of gin negatively affecting taste and color over time. Use a cupboard or a closed bar cabinet for storage.

- Sealing: Always ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cap to prevent oxidation and evaporation. For longer-term storage an additional cap or vacuum-sealing can help maintain freshness by minimizing air exposure.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than on their side. Upright storage protects the integrity of the cork seal by preventing alcohol contact that could degrade corks and allow air ingress which spoils the gin.

- Humidity: While not as critical as temperature or light moderate humidity around 50–70% is typical and sufficient. Excessive humidity is generally not a concern for bottled gin but extremely dry or damp conditions should be avoided to preserve cork condition and labels.

- Additional Tips for Opened Bottles: After opening oxidation will gradually reduce gin quality. To slow this process keep opened bottles tightly sealed stored upright in a cool dark place and consider transferring gin to a smaller bottle to reduce air contact if the bottle is significantly depleted.

These guidelines will best preserve the aroma flavor and overall quality of London Dry Gin maintaining its shelf life well beyond typical consumption periods.
