Storage advice
For optimal storage of Jonge Genever observe the following practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a consistent cool room temperature ideally between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid extreme cold or freezing as although Jonge Genever can be served chilled or even from the freezer freezing it for storage may affect flavor stability over very long periods. For opened bottles maintain the same stable cool room temperature to best preserve quality.
- Light Exposure: Keep bottles away from direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting to prevent degradation caused by UV light. Store in a dark place such as a cabinet or a box to minimize light exposure that can affect flavor and color stability.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cap or cork after each opening to minimize oxidation. Exposure to air can degrade the spirit's quality over time altering its taste and aroma.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than on their side. This prevents prolonged contact between the spirit and the cork or cap reducing the risk of cork deterioration and contamination.
- Humidity: While humidity is less critical for spirits than wine maintaining moderate humidity (around 50-70%) helps preserve the integrity of any cork sealing by preventing it from drying out or molding. This is particularly relevant if the bottle has a natural cork.
- Special Storage Tips Specific to Jonge Genever:
- Since Jonge Genever is often lighter and less aged than other genevers it does not require special aging conditions such as barrel storage post-purchase. However it is sensitive to oxidation once opened so minimize air exposure.
- If you prefer to serve Jonge Genever chilled you may refrigerate or freeze the bottle for serving but do not rely on freezing for long-term storage as temperature fluctuations can degrade quality.
- For unopened bottles typical room temperature storage away from heat and light is adequate since Jonge Genever is a stable distilled spirit with about 40% ABV and it does not improve with further aging in the bottle.
By following these guidelines—stable cool temperature darkness airtight sealing upright bottle position and moderate humidity—you will best preserve the taste and quality of both unopened and opened Jonge Genever.
