Storage advice
For optimal storage of Eau de Vie (Mirabelle Plum) to preserve its quality and shelf life consider the following practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store Eau de Vie at a consistent cool temperature ideally between 13°C and 16°C (55°F to 60°F). Avoid temperature extremes or fluctuations as heat can accelerate oxidation and spoil the spirit while excessive cold can slow aging processes and potentially impact flavor balance.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle protected from direct sunlight and ultraviolet light which can degrade the spirit by causing chemical changes. Store it in a dark cupboard or cellar or use opaque or UV-resistant coverings if needed to shield from light.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cork or cap to prevent air ingress which leads to oxidation and gradual loss of aroma and flavor.
- Bottle Position: Unlike wine Eau de Vie bottles should generally be stored upright. This prevents prolonged contact between the spirit and the cork which can degrade the cork and risk tainting the spirit.
- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level around 50-70% to protect cork integrity without promoting mold growth. Excessive humidity can harm corks and labels while very low humidity risks cork drying out and allowing air entry.
- Special Storage Tips for Eau de Vie: Both unopened and opened bottles should be kept away from heat sources (radiators ovens) and avoid temperature fluctuations like those near windows or appliances. For opened bottles minimizing headspace (air volume) by transferring to smaller bottles or using inert gas sprays can help preserve quality longer.
