Storage advice

For optimal storage of pastis keep the bottle in a cool dark place with a temperature range between 12°C and 30°C (54°F to 86°F) to preserve its quality without refrigeration needed due to its high alcohol content. Avoid direct light exposure as sunlight can degrade the beverage. Store the bottle upright to minimize contact between the liquid and the cap reducing risk of oxidation and contamination. Maintain a moderate humidity level around 50-70% to protect the seal and label but excessive humidity is not critical given it’s a distilled spirit.

For unopened bottles these conditions ensure a shelf life of up to around 18 months without flavor loss. For opened bottles promptly reseal tightly with the original cap to limit air exposure which can deteriorate the drink’s quality. Unlike wine pastis’s high alcohol level means it is less prone to quick spoilage so refrigeration after opening is optional if preferred for serving temperature but not necessary for preservation. If only a small amount remains in an opened bottle transferring to a smaller container can further reduce oxidation risk but is rarely essential.

These steps help maintain the pastis’s optimal quality and shelf life both before and after opening.
