Storage advice
For optimal storage of an Eau de Vie such as one distilled from Alisier (service tree) the following practical recommendations apply:
- Temperature: Store at a consistent cool temperature ideally between 12°C and 18°C (54°F–64°F). Avoid temperatures that are too warm which can accelerate oxidation and degradation or too cold which can slow aging processes unnecessarily.
- Light exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light. UV rays can degrade the spirit's chemical compounds and alter its quality over time so a dark or shaded storage place is preferred.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to prevent oxidation. A well-fitted cork or screw cap should remain intact to limit air exposure and evaporation.
- Bottle position: Unlike wine which is stored horizontally to keep the cork moist Eau de Vie bottles are best stored upright. This prevents prolonged contact between the spirit and the cork which can degrade the cork and potentially taint the beverage.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity levels around 55% to 75%. Excessively dry conditions may dry out corks increasing the risk of air ingress while too much humidity can damage labels and packaging but does not directly affect the spirit.
- Special considerations for unopened bottles: Store unopened bottles in a stable environment with minimal temperature fluctuations ideally away from areas prone to vibrations or motion to preserve quality indefinitely.
- Special considerations for opened bottles: After opening minimize the spirit's exposure to oxygen by resealing tightly and storing upright in a cool dark place. Consumption within a reasonable timeframe (months to a couple of years) is advisable as oxidation can gradually alter the spirit’s flavor and aroma.
Following these recommendations supports preserving the flavor integrity and shelf life of Eau de Vie without risk of spoilage or quality loss.
