Imagine a sip that unfurls slowly—layers of sun-baked plum and wildflower honey spilling into whispers of toasted vanilla and weathered oak, each note steeped in quiet confidence rather than showmanship.

Storage advice

To optimally store Cognac keep the following practical conditions in mind:

- Temperature: Store Cognac in a cool stable environment ideally between 15-20°C (59-68°F) to preserve flavor without dulling or accelerating aging processes. Avoid extremes and fluctuations as heat can expand the liquid and damage seals while cold temperatures may dull aromas.

- Light Exposure: Protect Cognac from direct sunlight and strong artificial light especially UV rays by keeping the bottle in a dark place. Light exposure can degrade quality over time.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed. The cork should remain intact. Cognac should be stored upright to prevent the high-alcohol liquid from prolonged contact with the cork which can degrade the cork and alter taste while still maintaining cork moisture to avoid drying out.

- Bottle Position: Always store the bottle standing upright to help protect the cork and maintain seal integrity.

- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level around 50-70% to preserve cork quality and prevent drying or swelling; too high humidity risks label damage. A consistent humidity within this range also helps maintain the cork’s seal.

- Other considerations: Store Cognac in a stable vibration-free area to avoid disturbing its natural compounds. Avoid storing near appliances or places with temperature or movement fluctuations.

For unopened bottles maintaining these conditions will preserve the Cognac indefinitely without deterioration.

For opened bottles storage in the same conditions is essential; however exposure to air will gradually oxidize the spirit diminishing quality over time. Minimize oxygen exposure by resealing tightly after each use and consider finishing opened bottles within 1-2 years for best quality.

These recommendations focus on practical environment-based preservation methods to maintain Cognac’s quality and longevity.
