Storage advice

For optimal storage of Aquavit the following practical guidelines should be followed:

- Temperature: Store Aquavit in a cool environment ideally between 55°F to 65°F (13°C to 18°C). Avoid temperature fluctuations which can deteriorate quality.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight as exposure to light can negatively affect flavor and color.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed especially after opening to prevent oxidation and preserve the flavor. Proper sealing allows an opened bottle to keep for several years.

- Bottle Position: Always store the bottle upright to avoid alcohol contact with the cap which can lead to flavor changes and degradation of the seal.

- Humidity: While not as critical as for wine moderate humidity in the storage area can help maintain the bottle cork’s condition if applicable. Extremely dry conditions might dry out corks but most Aquavit bottles use screw caps or synthetic stoppers which are less susceptible.

- Additional Tips Specific to Aquavit:
- Refrigeration is not necessary even for opened bottles as Aquavit has a high alcohol content that preserves it well at cool cellar or room temperatures.
- Avoid storing Aquavit near heat sources or places with wide temperature swings such as near ovens or windows.
- Since most Aquavit is not intended for long-term aging post-bottling maintaining stable storage conditions helps preserve its fresh and herbal character without quality loss over time.

By adhering to these guidelines for both unopened and opened bottles you can maintain Aquavit’s quality and extend its shelf life effectively.
