Storage advice
For optimal storage of Blended Malt Whisky maintain the following practical conditions:
- Temperature: Store whisky at a stable cool temperature between 15°C and 20°C (ideal range about 15°C to 18°C). Avoid refrigeration or freezing as low temperatures can cause cloudiness or dull flavors especially in non-chill filtered whiskies.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight or bright artificial light to prevent flavor deterioration and label fading.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed after opening to minimize oxidation. Oxidation accelerates flavor changes and evaporation especially as the air volume inside the bottle increases.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright never on its side. Whisky has high alcohol content that can degrade corks if liquid is in continuous contact with them.
- Humidity: Maintain a dry to medium humidity environment. Excess humidity can damage the cork and labels while very dry conditions might dry out corks risking seal integrity.
- Opened Bottle Considerations: When less than one-third of the whisky remains consider transferring it into a smaller bottle to reduce air contact and slow oxidation. Using whisky decanters is mainly aesthetic; most decanter stoppers are not airtight and do not improve preservation over the original bottle.
- Special Tip for Blended Malt Whisky: Because many blended malts are minimally altered (non chill-filtered) and aged temperature consistency is particularly important to avoid flavor and clarity changes.
Applying these storage guidelines will best preserve the whisky's quality and extend its shelf life both before and after the bottle is opened.
