Storage advice

For optimal storage of an Eau de Vie such as a truffle-flavored spirit follow these practical recommendations to best preserve its quality and shelf life:

- Temperature: Store the bottled spirit in a cool stable environment ideally between 12°C and 18°C (54°F to 64°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations which can degrade the spirit's flavor and aroma.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light. Prolonged exposure to light may cause chemical changes that affect taste and color so store the bottle in a dark place or inside a cabinet.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cork or cap when not in use to prevent oxidation and evaporation which can deteriorate quality over time.

- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright rather than on its side. Unlike wine Eau de Vie and most spirits contain high alcohol content that prevents cork drying and an upright position helps avoid any leakage or contamination from the cork.

- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity levels typically around 50-70% to prevent cork deterioration or mold growth around the seal area. Extremely dry or excessively humid environments should be avoided.

- Unopened Bottles: Can be stored long-term if temperature and light conditions remain stable as spirits do not age further in the bottle.

- Opened Bottles: Once opened minimize air exposure by resealing tightly and store under the same cool dark conditions. Consume within 1-2 years for best flavor retention as oxidation gradually alters the spirit's characteristics.

- Special Storage Tip for Eau de Vie: Due to its delicate distillation and infusion (e.g. with truffle) avoid storing near strong odors or chemicals that could permeate the cork or cap and taint the spirit.

By following these guidelines the truffle-infused Eau de Vie will maintain its aromatic complexity and integrity over time.
