Storage advice
For optimal storage of a spirit maintain a temperature between 55°F to 65°F (13°C to 18°C) which is ideal to preserve flavor and prevent evaporation or oxidation. Avoid temperature fluctuations as they can degrade quality and accelerate evaporation.
Store the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light because UV light can damage the spirit's flavor over time. Using the original box or a cabinet can provide additional protection from light exposure.
Keep the bottle sealed tightly when not in use to minimize oxygen exposure which causes oxidation and flavor loss. For opened bottles ensure the cap or cork is properly secured after each pour. Using inert gas sprays like argon to displace oxygen in partially filled bottles can further help preserve quality.
Store the bottle upright to prevent the spirit from contacting the cork or cap which can alter flavour and risk leakage. This position also helps protect cork integrity particularly if the bottle has a cork stopper.
Maintain a relative humidity level around 50-70% to keep corks from drying out and shrinking which would allow air to enter the bottle and spoil the spirit. This is especially important for corked bottles.
Avoid vibrations or storing the spirit in unstable locations as agitation can negatively affect aging and flavor.
For long-term storage unopened bottles are generally stable under these conditions without refrigeration. Opened bottles require closer attention to sealing and minimal oxygen exposure to maintain their quality over time.
No refrigeration is needed but the environment should be cool and stable. Refrigerating is mostly unnecessary and may not benefit the flavor preservation of most spirits.
