Storage advice

For Farigoule Liqueur de thym 40% 50 CL optimal storage is crucial for maintaining its quality.

**Unopened Bottle:**

* **Temperature:** Store at a cool consistent temperature ideally between 10-15°C (50-59°F). Avoid significant temperature fluctuations as these can cause the liquid to expand and contract potentially compromising the seal over time. Do not refrigerate unopened bottles.
* **Light Exposure:** Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light. UV rays can degrade the herbal components and potentially alter the color and flavor profile of the liqueur. A dark cabinet or cellar is ideal.
* **Sealing:** Ensure the original seal remains intact. The cork or cap is designed to prevent air ingress.
* **Bottle Position:** Store upright. Unlike wine liqueurs with corks should not be stored on their side as prolonged contact with high-alcohol spirits can degrade the cork prematurely. Screw caps are also best stored upright.
* **Humidity:** Maintain moderate humidity around 50-70%. Extremely low humidity can dry out corks (if applicable) leading to shrinkage and potential air ingress. Extremely high humidity can encourage mold growth on labels though it won't directly affect the liquid inside a sealed bottle.
* **Special Storage Tips:** Store away from strong odors as the bottle's seal while effective is not entirely impervious to very strong persistent external smells over long periods.

**Opened Bottle:**

* **Temperature:** Once opened store in a cool dark place similar to an unopened bottle. Refrigeration is not strictly necessary for a spirit of 40% ABV but it can help slow down oxidation and preserve freshness especially if you anticipate slow consumption. If refrigerated allow it to come to a slightly warmer temperature before serving to fully appreciate its aromatics.
* **Light Exposure:** Continue to protect from light exposure.
* **Sealing:** Re-seal the bottle tightly immediately after each use. Use the original cap or a high-quality stopper to minimize air exposure. Air is the primary enemy of opened spirits leading to oxidation and a gradual loss of aromatic complexity.
* **Bottle Position:** Always store upright.
* **Humidity:** Moderate humidity is still advisable though less critical than for unopened bottles as the primary concern is now air exposure.
* **Special Storage Tips:** For long-term storage of an opened bottle consider transferring the remaining liquid to a smaller clean airtight bottle to reduce the amount of air in contact with the spirit. This minimizes the headspace and slows down oxidation. While Farigoule is a robust spirit its herbal notes are delicate and can diminish over time once exposed to air. Aim to consume within 6-12 months of opening for optimal quality.
