Storage advice

To optimally store Bourbon Whiskey and preserve its quality and shelf life consider the following practical recommendations:

- Temperature: Store bourbon at a consistent moderate temperature ideally between 60°F and 70°F (15°C - 21°C). Avoid temperature extremes and fluctuations which can cause chemical changes and evaporation negatively affecting flavor. Refrigeration is not recommended as it dulls aroma and flavor.

- Light Exposure: Keep bourbon bottles away from direct sunlight and bright artificial light. Light especially UV rays causes chemical reactions that degrade bourbon’s flavor profile over time. A cool dark place like a closet or cabinet is ideal.

- Sealing: Always ensure bourbon bottles are tightly sealed to minimize oxygen exposure. Once sealed properly oxidation is slow. For opened bottles reseal tightly after use to maintain quality.

- Bottle Position: Store bourbon bottles upright never on their side. This prevents the cork from deteriorating due to prolonged contact with the alcohol which can lead to leakage or spoilage.

- Humidity: Maintain storage humidity in the range of 50% to 70%. Below 50% humidity risks corks drying out allowing air ingress. Above 70% risks mold growth and label damage.

- Additional Tips: Avoid storing bourbon in places prone to temperature extremes such as attics garages or near heat sources like radiators or stoves. A basement wine cellar or dedicated liquor cabinet with stable conditions is preferable.

Both unopened and opened bottles benefit from these conditions with the main difference being the greater importance of minimizing air exposure for opened bottles by resealing properly. Proper storage extends both the taste integrity and the shelf life of bourbon whiskey over years or even decades.
