Storage advice
For optimal storage of Cognac practical recommendations are as follows:
- Temperature: Store Cognac in a cool stable environment ideally between 59-68°F (15-20°C). Avoid temperature fluctuations excessive heat or freezing temperatures as extremes can affect the spirit's quality and aging characteristics.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or UV light. Light exposure can degrade Cognac over time impacting its flavor and color.
- Sealing: Cognac bottles are sealed with cork so protecting cork integrity is important. Store the bottle upright to prevent the high alcohol content from coming into direct contact with the cork which could cause cork degradation and taint the beverage.
- Bottle Position: Always keep the bottle standing upright. Unlike wine Cognac should not be stored on its side since prolonged contact between cork and spirit can damage the cork.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity levels around 50-70%. This helps preserve the cork’s elasticity and prevents it from drying out which is critical for maintaining the seal. Extremely high humidity could damage labels but moderate humidity benefits cork preservation.
- Special Considerations for Opened Bottles: Once opened Cognac should be kept sealed tightly and stored similarly in a cool dark place upright. Exposure to oxygen will slowly degrade flavor so minimizing air contact by recorking securely or using a stopper is advisable. Consuming opened bottles within 1–2 years prevents significant quality loss.
- Vibration and Movement: Store the bottle in a stable vibration-free location. Avoid places near appliances or areas with constant movement as vibrations may accelerate unwanted chemical changes.
- Additional Tips: A cellar or dedicated liquor cabinet with stable temperature/humidity is ideal. Avoid storing Cognac near heating vents windows or cars where it can be subjected to heat shifts.
Following these guidelines will help preserve the Cognac’s original flavor profile and extend its shelf life both before and after opening.
