Storage advice

For optimal storage of Blended Whisky maintain the following conditions:

- Temperature: Store at a consistent cool temperature between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F) to avoid evaporation cloudiness or accelerated aging. Avoid refrigeration or freezing.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light. UV rays can degrade the whisky’s quality and fade labels.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle remains tightly sealed with the original cork or cap to limit oxygen ingress. For opened bottles reseal immediately to slow oxidation and flavor changes.

- Bottle Position: Always store bottles upright. Unlike wine whisky should not be stored on its side because this can damage the cork and affect the seal.

- Humidity: Store in a dry to moderate humidity environment. Excessive humidity may damage labels and packaging while very dry conditions can dry out the cork risking seal failure.

- Opened Bottle Tips: Once opened whisky is exposed to air and will oxidize. To slow this process:
- Store at room temperature (15–18°C) away from light.
- When the bottle is less than a third full consider transferring the whisky into a smaller bottle with a tight seal to reduce air contact.
- Using decanters for storage is not recommended unless they offer airtight seals; otherwise original bottles are preferable.

Following these practical guidelines will help preserve the quality flavor and longevity of your blended whisky both unopened and after opening.
