Storage advice
For optimal storage of Bourbon Whiskey maintain a consistent temperature between 60°F and 70°F (15°C to 21°C) avoiding heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight as heat can cause the bourbon to expand and push against the cork leading to oxidation and flavor loss. Avoid storing bourbon in very cold places such as refrigerators since odors and aromas can be diminished at low temperatures.
Store bottles in a cool dark place such as a cupboard closet or basement away from any sunlight exposure to prevent UV light from causing chemical changes that degrade flavor.
Keep humidity levels between 50% and 70% to prevent corks from drying out (if too low) or from mold growth and label damage (if too high).
Always store bourbon upright rather than on its side. Since bourbon has a high alcohol content the liquid can damage corks over time if stored sideways which can lead to leakage or oxidation.
For unopened bottles maintaining these conditions ensures the bourbon remains stable for years or decades as the high alcohol content preserves the liquid effectively.
For opened bottles minimize oxidation by ensuring the bottle is tightly resealed with its cork or cap. Over time the smaller the remaining liquid volume the higher the chance air will degrade flavor due to oxidation so storing opened bottles upright and sealed tightly in the same cool dark environment is crucial.
Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations as repeated expansion and contraction can compromise the cork seal and promote oxidation.
