Storage advice
For optimal storage of Jenever which is similar to gin and a juniper-flavored spirit apply the following practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store Jenever at a consistent cool temperature ideally between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid extremes of heat or cold as these can degrade the spirit's quality. For opened bottles refrigeration can be considered to maintain flavor especially if you prefer to serve it chilled.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and UV light which can alter the chemical composition and cause flavor deterioration. Store the bottle in a dark cupboard or a cabinet with doors to protect it from light.
- Sealing: Always ensure the bottle is tightly sealed after opening to minimize oxidation which causes loss of aroma and taste changes. For longer storage consider using a secondary seal or vacuum stopper to limit air exposure.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright. Since Jenever is high in alcohol storing upright prevents the spirit from coming into prolonged contact with the cork which can deteriorate and allow air ingress.
- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level of about 50-70% to prevent corks from drying out if cork-sealed. If the cork dries it can shrink letting air in and reducing quality.
- Special Tips:
- Avoid frequent temperature fluctuations which can accelerate flavor loss.
- Minimize vibrations and movement by choosing a stable storage place to prevent agitation that could affect the spirit's subtle qualities.
- For unopened bottles storing in original packaging can add an extra layer of light protection and physical safety.
Following these guidelines will help preserve the integrity and extend the shelf life of Jenever whether unopened or after opening.
