Storage advice

For optimal storage of an Eau de Vie especially one based on wild blackberry consider the following practical guidelines to preserve its quality and shelf life:

- Temperature: Store the Eau de Vie at a consistent cool temperature ideally between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid extremes: neither freezing nor high heat as freezing may alter the composition and heat can cause evaporation and degradation.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and harsh artificial light. UV rays can damage the spirit’s molecular structure potentially impacting aroma and flavor integrity. Store in a dark cabinet drawer or a shaded area to provide protection from UV exposure.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed when not in use to minimize oxidation. Proper sealing slows down flavor changes caused by air exposure especially important after opening.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright not on their side. Unlike wine with cork closures Eau de Vie typically has screw caps or other seals not reliant on corks. Storing upright prevents prolonged contact between the spirit and the closure that might degrade the seal or contaminate the spirit.

- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level between 55% and 75%. While mostly a concern for corked spirits or wines humidity at this level helps avoid label damage and excessive drying of any cork closures if present though Eau de Vie usually has non-porous seals.

- Special Considerations for Opened Bottles: Once opened oxidation begins to affect the spirit. Keep the bottle tightly closed store in the same cool dark environment and consume within a reasonable period (typically within 1-2 years for best quality). If possible transfer remaining liquid to a smaller bottle to reduce air space.

These practices together will help maintain the Eau de Vie’s quality over time whether unopened or after opening.
