For optimal storage of Aged Gin it is best to maintain a consistent cool temperature ideally between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius (59 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit). Avoid exposing it to extreme heat or cold as temperature fluctuations can negatively affect the spirit's quality and flavor profile.

Light exposure should be minimized by storing the bottle in a dark place such as a cupboard or a closed bar cabinet to prevent direct sunlight from degrading the gin chemically and altering its taste.

The bottle should always be stored upright. This is important especially if the bottle has a natural cork as storing it on its side can cause the alcohol to deteriorate the cork possibly leading to air ingress and spoilage.

Sealing is critical; always ensure the lid or cork is tightly closed after each use to prevent oxidation which can cause flavor loss and evaporation. For longer storage of opened bottles you may consider additional sealing methods like a vacuum seal or transferring remaining gin to a smaller bottle to reduce air exposure.

Humidity is generally less critical for spirits compared to wine but storing the bottle in a relatively dry environment helps preserve the cork condition over time if present.

Special considerations for opened bottles include using the gin within about one year for the best taste as gradual oxidation starts once opened and alters the flavor over time. Keeping the opened bottle in the same cool dark conditions helps slow down this process.
