Storage advice
To best store Applejack and maintain its quality and shelf life follow these practical guidelines:
- Optimal Temperature: Store Applejack in a cool place. Room temperature or slightly cooler around 15–20°C (59–68°F) is ideal. Avoid temperature fluctuations which can degrade the spirit over time.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark environment—away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light—as light can cause chemical reactions that deteriorate taste and aroma.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed after each use to minimize oxidation. A good quality cork or screw cap should be maintained to prevent air exposure.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright rather than on its side. This prevents prolonged contact of the liquid with the cork which could dry out and affect the seal integrity and liquid quality.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity (around 50-70%) if storing in a cellar or similar environment to avoid cork drying but avoid excess moisture to reduce mold risk on caps or labels. Although cork quality affects aging more in wine it is still good practice for any corked spirits.
- Special Storage Tips for Applejack:
- Because Applejack is a high-proof spirit made through freeze distillation it does not require refrigeration and can be stored safely at normal cellar or room temperatures without risk of spoilage.
- Once opened oxidation can eventually alter the flavor. To slow this minimize the air space inside the bottle by transferring leftover Applejack to smaller containers if necessary to reduce oxygen exposure.
- Avoid freezing the bottle since alcohol freezes at a very low temperature but may cause expansion and potential breakage if stored in a regular freezer.
- Unopened vs. Opened Bottle:
- Unopened bottles can be kept long-term under stable cool dark conditions with no significant loss in quality.
- Opened bottles should be resealed tightly and consumed within a reasonable time frame to avoid oxidation effects storing upright and away from light and heat.
These practical storage considerations will help preserve Applejack’s quality and extend its shelf life.
