Storage advice

For optimal preservation of Gold Rum store the bottle in a cool stable temperature environment ideally between 15–20°C (59–68°F). Avoid heat and temperature fluctuations as these accelerate evaporation and degrade the rum’s flavor.

The bottle should be kept tightly sealed to minimize oxygen exposure which leads to oxidation and flavor loss especially once opened. If the bottle uses a natural cork check and rotate it every few months to prevent drying and crumbling that could let in air.

Store the bottle upright to avoid prolonged contact between the alcohol and the cork preventing cork deterioration and contamination of the liquid.

Protect the rum from light exposure particularly direct sunlight which causes chemical changes that spoil flavor and appearance. Keeping the bottle in its original box or a dark cabinet enhances light protection.

Maintain a moderate humidity level around 50-70% to prevent cork drying in bottles sealed with cork stoppers. This also helps preserve the seal integrity without risk of mold.

Additional tips for opened bottles include transferring the remaining rum to smaller bottles when levels get low to reduce air space and further oxidation. Avoid storing rum in the freezer as typical household freezer temperatures (-18°C) are not necessary and do not improve storage; rum usually freezes below -27°C anyway so freezing is generally unnecessary and offers no preservation benefits.

These conditions preserve the rum’s quality and prolong shelf life both before and after opening.
