Description

Storage advice

To optimally preserve the quality and shelf life of Bourbon Whiskey follow these practical storage recommendations:

- Temperature: Store bourbon at a consistent moderate temperature ideally between 60°F and 70°F (15°C to 21°C). Avoid heat sources and temperature fluctuations as heat can cause expansion that pushes against the cork leading to oxidation and cold can contract liquid affecting the seal.

- Light exposure: Keep bourbon away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light. UV rays can cause chemical changes that degrade flavor over time.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed when not in use to limit oxygen exposure which leads to oxidation and flavor deterioration. Proper sealing is especially important after opening the bottle.

- Bottle position: Store bottles upright not on their sides. Upright storage prevents the alcohol from coming into prolonged contact with the cork which can cause cork deterioration and leakage.

- Humidity: Maintain a relative humidity level between 50% and 70%. Too low humidity (below 50%) can dry out the cork allowing air ingress; too high humidity (above 70%) may encourage mold growth or label damage.

- Additional tips for opened bottles: After opening bourbon is prone to gradual oxidation so reseal tightly and store in the same cool dark upright conditions. Limit air in the bottle by transferring bourbon to a smaller container as it empties to reduce oxygen contact if storing long term.

- Avoid refrigeration: Do not refrigerate bourbon; cold storage diminishes the aroma and does not improve flavor.

- Avoid stacking bottles precariously: Store bottles securely on stable shelving to avoid damage.

These practices apply equally to both unopened and opened bottles with extra attention to sealing and oxidation management for opened bourbon.
