Storage advice
For optimal storage of London Dry Gin both unopened and opened bottles should be kept in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat to prevent degradation of flavors and quality. The ideal temperature range is between 15 to 20 degrees Celsius (59 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit) although storing unopened bottles in a refrigerator at around 4°C can further extend shelf life by minimizing oxidation and evaporation.
Light exposure should be minimized since sunlight can break down compounds in gin and affect its color and taste. It is best to store bottles in a cupboard or any dark area and if displayed ensure they are placed in shaded corners or behind large labels that block light.
Sealing is critical both for unopened and opened bottles. A tight screw cap or cork seal prevents oxidation and evaporation. For bottles with natural corks always store them upright to prevent the alcohol from dissolving the cork which can cause off-flavors. Artificial corks are less sensitive to position but upright storage is generally recommended to maintain seal integrity.
Once opened oxidation gradually alters the gin’s flavor. To slow this process:
- Keep the bottle tightly sealed after each use.
- Store the bottle in the cool dark area as mentioned.
- Consider transferring remaining gin into a smaller bottle if the original is only half full as reducing the volume of air in the bottle limits oxidation exposure.
Regarding humidity while not often emphasized for spirits a moderate humidity environment is preferable to maintain cork integrity for cork-sealed bottles. Extreme dryness can dry out corks while excessive humidity can cause mold—both undesirable.
Following these guidelines helps preserve the gin’s quality aroma and shelf life without flavor degradation over time.
