Storage advice

For optimal storage of Bourbon Whiskey (including variants finished in stout barrels) follow these practical recommendations to best preserve quality and shelf life:

- Temperature: Store bourbon in a cool stable environment between 15°C and 21°C (59°F to 70°F). Avoid heat and temperature fluctuations as they can accelerate chemical changes that degrade flavor over time.

- Light Exposure: Keep bottles in a dark place away from direct sunlight and UV light. Light exposure can cause unpleasant chemical reactions impacting aroma and taste.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle seal is intact for unopened bottles. Once opened keep the cap or cork tightly sealed to minimize oxygen exposure which causes gradual oxidation and flavor loss.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than on their side to prevent the alcohol from degrading the cork and to avoid leakage.

- Humidity: Maintain storage humidity between 50% and 70%. Humidity below 50% may dry out the cork allowing air in. Above 70% mold and label damage risks increase.

- Additional Tips:
- For unopened bottles a cool dark cabinet or closet is preferable over places with variable temperatures like attics or garages.
- Avoid refrigeration since low temperatures can dull bourbon’s aroma.
- After opening consume bourbon within a reasonable timeframe (typically 1-2 years) for best flavor but it won’t spoil.
- Avoid stacking or precariously balancing bottles to prevent damage.

Adhering to these conditions will help maintain the bourbon's character and extend its longevity both before and after opening.
