Storage advice
For optimal storage of Aquavit follow these practical guidelines focusing on preserving its quality and shelf life:
- Temperature: Store Aquavit at a consistent cool room temperature ideally between 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Extreme temperature fluctuations should be avoided as they can adversely affect the spirit's flavor integrity. Refrigeration is not necessary and not recommended for storage though some prefer to chill the bottle briefly before serving.
- Light Exposure: Keep Aquavit in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light. Light exposure can degrade the spirit and alter its delicate herbal aromas and flavors over time.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cork or cap to prevent oxidation. Oxidation can deteriorate quality particularly after opening.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than on their side. This position minimizes contact between the spirit and the cork reducing the risk of cork drying out or flavor contamination.
- Humidity: Moderate humidity levels (around 50–70%) are beneficial to maintain cork moisture without encouraging mold. Very dry conditions can cause corks to shrink and let air in while excessive humidity risks mold growth on labels but generally does not affect the spirit inside.
- Storage for Unopened Bottles: Unopened bottles can be kept in a cool dark cabinet or spirits cabinet under consistent conditions indefinitely since Aquavit does not generally benefit from aging once bottled.
- Storage for Opened Bottles: Once opened store the bottle upright with a tight seal in the same cool dark environment. Consumption within a year is advisable to enjoy the fresh and balanced expression as prolonged exposure to air can reduce aromatic complexity and subtle flavors.
- Special Considerations for Aquavit: Since Aquavit is sometimes matured in oak barrels (such as those sherry casks crossed at sea) exposure to temperature fluctuations during aging contributes to its complexity but once bottled stable storage conditions should be maintained to preserve the matured character.
Applying these storage practices will help keep Aquavit’s flavor profile consistent and preserve its quality whether unopened or after opening.
