Storage advice

For optimal storage of an Eau de Vie such as a truffle-infused spirit consider the following practical recommendations:

- Temperature: Store at a consistent cool temperature ideally between 15-20°C (59-68°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations and high heat which can cause expansion and damage to the cork seal.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight. UV light can degrade the spirit’s quality over time by affecting its aroma and flavor.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to prevent oxidation. For unopened bottles maintaining the factory seal will preserve the spirit indefinitely. Once opened reseal carefully after each use to minimize air contact.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than on their side. Unlike wine Eau de Vie has a high alcohol content that can damage corks if stored horizontally leading to seal degradation and potential oxidation.

- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity to protect labels and cork integrity but this is less critical than for wine cellars. Avoid excessively humid environments that could promote mold or damage packaging.

- Special Considerations:
- Because Eau de Vie stops aging once removed from barrels and transferred to glass containers store it where environmental conditions remain stable to preserve its matured state.
- For opened bottles consume within a reasonable time frame (several months to a few years depending on air exposure) to enjoy optimal quality; oxidation gradually alters the taste after opening.

Following these guidelines will best preserve the quality and shelf life of your truffle-infused Eau de Vie while retaining its unique character.
