Storage advice
For optimal storage of Blended Whisky follow these practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store whisky at a stable cool temperature ideally between 15 to 20°C (59 to 68°F). Avoid refrigeration or freezing as cold temperatures can cause cloudiness and flavor changes while fluctuations in temperature may damage the cork and accelerate aging or evaporation.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and UV light. Light exposure can deteriorate the whisky’s compounds and fade labels. Use a dark cabinet or box to store bottles safely out of light.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed after each use to minimize oxygen exposure which oxidizes the whisky faster and negatively affects flavor. For opened bottles with less than one-third remaining consider transferring the liquid into a smaller airtight bottle to reduce air contact.
- Bottle Position: Always store whisky bottles upright to prevent prolonged contact of the liquid with the cork. This preserves the cork’s integrity and prevents contamination and deterioration caused by constant cork wetness.
- Humidity: Maintain a dry to moderate humidity environment. Excessive humidity can damage corks while very low humidity risks cork drying and shrinking which can allow air ingress. Typical indoor humidity levels are generally adequate.
- Special Tips for Opened Bottles: Store opened bottles in the same conditions as unopened ones—cool dark upright tightly sealed and ideally in an airtight container if the bottle volume significantly decreases. Avoid decanters unless they have airtight seals as most glass toppers do not prevent oxidation effectively.
By adhering to these storage conditions the quality and shelf life of Blended Whisky can be preserved for years whether bottles are unopened or already opened.
