Storage advice
For optimal storage of Dark Rum such as a 20-year aged variety follow these practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store at a consistent cool temperature ideally between 15–24°C (59–75°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations and heat sources like radiators or kitchen appliances to prevent flavor degradation.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or artificial light. Light especially UV rays can deteriorate the rum’s components and alter its aromas so storing in a tinted bottle or inside a box provides extra protection.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cap or cork to prevent oxidation. If the bottle uses a natural cork check it periodically for wear or dryness because a degraded cork can allow air inside and spoil the rum. For long-term opened storage consider transferring to smaller containers to reduce the air space and slow oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Always store the bottle upright. Unlike wine storing rum on its side risks prolonged contact between the liquid and the cork which may deteriorate the cork and allow leakage or oxidation.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity to protect the cork and label. Excessive dryness can dry out the cork while too much humidity encourages mold growth. A dry well-ventilated environment is best; a humidor intended for cigars can be beneficial though is not strictly necessary.
- Additional Tips:
- For unopened bottles storage in the original box can shield from light exposure.
- Avoid refrigerating or freezing as cold temperatures do not improve preservation and may negatively affect aroma development.
- Once opened aim to consume within 6 months to 1-2 years depending on the remaining volume; smaller volume increases oxidation risk. If below a quarter full transferring to smaller bottles is advised to maintain quality.
Adhering to these guidelines will help preserve the quality and shelf life of dark rum both unopened and after opening.
