Storage advice

For optimal storage of Single Malt Whisky adhering to the following practical recommendations will best preserve its quality and shelf life:

- Temperature: Store at a stable cool room temperature ideally between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations which cause expansion and contraction of liquid impacting cork integrity and flavor. Do not store in the fridge or freezer as cold can dull flavors and cause cloudiness.

- Light Exposure: Keep the whisky bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight. UV light degrades whisky flavor and can fade labels. A cupboard drawer or dedicated whisky cabinet is recommended.

- Sealing: Always ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to minimize oxygen contact. Oxidation speeds up flavor changes and evaporation after opening. For opened bottles with less than about a third remaining transfer the whisky into a smaller airtight bottle to reduce air exposure and slow oxidation.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than horizontally. Unlike wine whisky corks should not be in contact with the liquid which can deteriorate corks and risk cork particles in the whisky.

- Humidity: Aim for a medium humidity environment to prevent cork dryness. Too dry can degrade corks while too moist can cause mold on labels or packaging.

- Additional Tips:

- Avoid storing near heat sources like radiators or ovens.

- Avoid whisky decanters with loose glass stoppers for storage as they are not airtight and promote oxidation. Decanters are more suited for serving than long-term preservation.

By following these controlled conditions for both unopened and opened bottles the whisky’s aromas and flavors will be better maintained over time.
