Storage advice
For optimal storage of the thyme-based Eau de Vie follow these practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store the bottle at a stable cool temperature ideally between 12°C and 15°C. Avoid temperature fluctuations which can degrade flavor and aroma.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and strong artificial lights. UV light can deteriorate the spirit’s quality over time.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to prevent oxidation and evaporation. A good quality cork or screw cap is essential.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright to minimize contact between the spirit and the cork which prevents cork drying and contamination.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity levels around 50-70% to avoid cork drying if the closure is natural cork though screw caps are less sensitive.
- Special Storage Tips: Since this Eau de Vie is distilled once in copper pot still and aged in stainless steel tanks (not wood) there is no aging in barrels that would be affected by humidity or oxygen exposure. Thus oxidation from poor sealing should be the primary concern.
- Unopened Bottle: Keep unopened bottles in a cool dark place with the above conditions ideally a dedicated spirits cabinet or cellar.
- Opened Bottle: Once opened consume within a reasonable time frame (a few months) to enjoy optimal freshness as prolonged exposure to air can slowly degrade aromatic compounds. Keep tightly sealed and stored upright in cool dark conditions.
These steps will best preserve the clarity aromatic intensity and overall quality of the thyme Eau de Vie.
