Storage advice
For optimal storage of an Eau de Vie particularly one with botanical characteristics such as asparagus spirit the following practical recommendations ensure preservation of quality and shelf life:
- Temperature: Store consistently in a cool environment ideally between 13°C and 18°C (55°F and 65°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations or extremes; do not refrigerate or freeze as cold shocks can degrade components and heat can accelerate oxidation.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light to prevent photodegradation. Use a dark storage area or opaque covering to block ultraviolet rays that could alter flavors and aromas.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original closure to minimize air exposure. Oxygen ingress promotes oxidation which deteriorates the spirit over time.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than lying down to keep the spirit from prolonged contact with the cork. This reduces cork degradation and limits contamination or off-flavors leaching from the cork.
- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity around 50-70% to avoid cork drying (if applicable) but also prevent mold growth. Avoid very humid environments like bathrooms that foster mold and internal bottle contamination.
- Special Storage Tips:
- For unopened bottles keep them in the original packaging if possible to protect from light and temperature variation.
- For opened bottles aim to limit air exposure by using smaller bottles for transfers or employing inert gas sprays to displace oxygen if long-term storage is needed. Consume opened bottles within a reasonable timeframe since oxidation accelerates after opening.
