Storage advice
For optimal storage of Akvavit follow these practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles in a cool stable environment at room temperature ideally between 60-70°F (15-21°C). Avoid significant temperature fluctuations that can degrade the spirit's quality. Although Akvavit can be chilled for serving refrigeration or freezing is not necessary for storage because of the high alcohol content preventing freezing.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light as exposure to light can cause chemical changes that reduce flavor quality over time.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed especially once opened to prevent oxidation and evaporation. Properly resealing an opened bottle can maintain peak flavor for 2-3 years.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright to avoid prolonged contact between the spirit and the cork which could degrade the cork and potentially spoil the flavor. Upright storage also minimizes the risk of leakage.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity to protect the cork from drying out if the bottle has a natural cork stopper. Typically typical indoor humidity levels suffice but extremely dry or excessively humid conditions should be avoided.
- Special Tips:
- Once opened continue storing upright sealed and in a cool dark place to preserve the botanical and herbal flavors characteristic of Akvavit.
- For serving Akvavit can be chilled but freezing is optional since the alcohol content prevents it from freezing so permanent freezer storage is acceptable without risk of freezing damage.
