Storage advice
To optimally store Corn Whisky follow these practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Maintain a stable cool temperature ideally between 55°F and 70°F (13°C and 21°C). Avoid temperature fluctuations as they can cause the liquid to expand and contract potentially compromising the bottle’s seal and allowing air in which may degrade the whisky's quality.
- Light Exposure: Store the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or fluorescent lights. Light exposure can cause chemical changes that deteriorate the whisky’s flavors and aromas over time.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed. A well-sealed cap or cork prevents air ingress that can lead to oxidation-related flavor loss especially after the bottle is opened.
- Bottle Position: Store whisky bottles upright rather than lying down. This minimizes the liquid's contact with the cork preventing potential cork degradation and maintaining seal integrity.
- Humidity: Aim for a relative humidity level between 60% and 70%. This humidity range helps keep the corks from drying out or swelling excessively thus preserving the bottle’s seal without damaging labels or corks.
- Opened Bottles: Once opened whisky can slowly change due to air exposure. To slow this keep the bottle sealed tightly store upright and consider transferring the whisky to smaller bottles to minimize the air-to-liquid ratio if a large amount remains.
- Additional Tips: Avoid storing whisky near heat sources such as radiators or appliances that produce heat and do not freeze whisky as extreme cold can affect its profile and cause condensation inside the bottle when warmed which may introduce unwanted moisture.
By following these guidelines the Corn Whisky's quality and shelf life both unopened and after opening can be best preserved.
