Storage advice

For optimal storage of Eau de Vie (such as Manguin Oli'Still L'Olive Distilée) the following practical recommendations should be followed to preserve quality and shelf life:

- Temperature: Store in a stable cool environment between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations and extremes since heat can cause expansion potentially compromising the bottle’s seal and accelerating oxidation.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light as light can degrade the spirit by promoting chemical changes that impair flavor and appearance.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle's seal (cork or cap) is intact and tight. An airtight seal prevents oxidation which begins once the bottle is opened. For unopened bottles a proper seal enables very long shelf life possibly indefinite.

- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright rather than lying on its side. Unlike wine bottles spirits with high alcohol content can degrade corks if in contact too long; storing upright avoids cork deterioration and evaporation.

- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity levels ideally around 50-70% to keep corks from drying out without promoting mold growth. While cork drying is less critical than for wine consistent moderate humidity supports the seal’s integrity over time.

- Opened Bottles: Once opened exposure to air begins to affect quality. To slow this reseal tightly after each use and store the bottle upright in a cool dark place. Consumption within 1-2 years is advisable to enjoy the spirit before oxidation impacts subtle characteristics.

These guidelines align closely with best practices for aging and storing eaux-de-vie and cognac-type spirits helping preserve the aroma and taste over long periods while minimizing deterioration caused by temperature light oxygen and evaporation.
