Storage advice

For optimal preservation of a liqueur such as this the following practical storage recommendations apply:

- Temperature: Store at a stable cool temperature between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Fluctuations can degrade quality by expanding and contracting the liquid which risks compromising the seal and accelerating oxidation. Avoid excessive heat or cold.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and avoid strong artificial lighting. UV light can chemically degrade the liquid’s color and flavor compounds. If displayed use tinted glass cases or position the bottle in shaded/dark areas.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle cap or cork is tightly sealed at all times to minimize air contact. Air exposure leads to oxidation which dulls flavor and can cause off-notes. For opened bottles reseal immediately after use and minimize the frequency the bottle is open to prolong shelf life.

- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright rather than on its side. Upright storage minimizes the liquid's contact with the closure preventing potential cork damage or seal degradation which could allow air ingress.

- Humidity: Moderate humidity (around 50%-70%) is beneficial to keep cork seals from drying out if present. Excessive humidity risks label damage and mold growth but too dry an environment can shrink corks compromising the seal (mostly relevant if the bottle has a cork closure).

- Special Tips for Liqueurs: Liqueurs often contain sugar and flavorings that may be more sensitive to prolonged heat and light exposure making consistent cool temperature and darkness even more important. For opened bottles refrigeration is not required but can slightly extend freshness if room temperature is warm; always tightly re-seal if refrigerated.

Together these storage conditions help maintain the liqueur’s original quality preventing flavor degradation color changes and oxidation whether unopened or after opening.
