For optimal storage of Single Malt Whiskey apply the following practical guidelines concerning temperature light sealing bottle position humidity and special tips for unopened and opened bottles:

- Temperature: Store whiskey at a stable cool room temperature ideally between 15°C and 20°C (59°F–68°F). Avoid storing in refrigerators or freezers as cold temperatures can cause cloudiness and dull flavors.

- Light Exposure: Keep bottles away from direct sunlight and UV rays as light can degrade whiskey quality and cause label fading. Store whiskey in a dark place such as a cabinet or closet to protect it from light exposure.

- Sealing: Always ensure bottles are tightly sealed after opening to minimize air exposure which causes oxidation leading to flavor changes and evaporation. For opened bottles that are less than one-third full consider transferring whiskey into a smaller bottle to reduce air contact and prolong freshness.

- Bottle Position: Whiskey bottles should be stored upright never lying on their sides. This prevents prolonged contact between liquid and cork which could deteriorate the cork seal over time.

- Humidity: Store in a dry well-ventilated area away from high humidity. Excessive humidity combined with heat can expand the bottle and damage the cork compromising seal integrity and shelf life.

- Additional Special Considerations: Avoid temperature fluctuations near windows heaters or heat sources as repeated expansion and contraction can negatively impact the cork seal and accelerate oxidation. Once opened whiskey can remain good for months if stored properly but oxidation increases as bottle volume decreases so monitor remaining volume accordingly.

These recommendations apply to both unopened and opened bottles to preserve the whiskey’s quality and prolong its shelf life.
