Storage advice

For optimal storage of joven mezcal store the bottle in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight heat sources and temperature fluctuations ideally between 60 and 65°F (15-18°C). Maintaining a stable moderate temperature preserves its quality and flavor integrity over time.

Keep the bottle standing upright at all times to prevent the liquid from contacting the cork which can cause deterioration of the cork and potential spoilage of the mezcal. Always seal the bottle tightly with its original cap or cork after each use to minimize oxidation and evaporation.

Humidity is not usually a critical factor for mezcal storage but a dry environment helps maintain the cork condition if present. Avoid overly humid storage conditions to prevent cork degradation.

For unopened bottles these conditions help preserve the mezcal indefinitely without significant quality loss. For opened bottles since exposure to air can gradually affect flavor it is advisable to:

- Keep the bottle sealed tightly after each pour.
- Store in the same cool dark and stable environment.
- For long-term storage after opening consider transferring remaining mezcal into a smaller bottle to reduce air contact and slow oxidation.

These steps will maintain the joven mezcal’s freshness and prevent quality degradation while maximizing shelf life.
