Storage advice

For optimal storage of the Modern Gin adhere to the following practical recommendations focused on preserving its quality and shelf life:

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles preferably in a cool dark place ideally around 40°F (4-5°C) if refrigerated or at room temperature (around 15-20°C or 59-68°F) keeping temperature consistent to avoid flavor degradation caused by heat or fluctuations. Refrigeration is beneficial but not mandatory; avoid heat sources such as above fridges or windowsills to prevent accelerated aging or flavor changes.

- Light Exposure: Protect the gin from direct sunlight and strong artificial light especially UV light which can degrade flavor and aroma. Store bottles in a dark cupboard cabinet or keep them in their original packaging or a UV-protective environment when exposed to light.

- Sealing: Always ensure the bottle has a tight seal after use to minimize oxidation. For bottles with natural corks tight sealing is crucial since air ingress alters flavor over time. Using inert gas sprays like argon can further protect partially consumed bottles by displacing oxygen.

- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright particularly if sealed with a natural cork to prevent the cork from dissolving into the gin and to maintain seal integrity. Artificial corks or screw caps do not require special positioning.

- Humidity: Maintain ambient humidity between 50-70% to prevent corks from drying out and shrinking which can allow air into the bottle. This is especially important for bottles sealed with natural cork.

- Additional Tips for Opened Bottles: Once opened oxidation gradually degrades gin quality so it is best to consume the contents within a year. To slow this keep the bottle tightly sealed stored in a cool dark place and consider transferring leftover gin to a smaller bottle to reduce air exposure.

- Vibration: Store in a stable vibration-free environment to avoid agitation that could affect the gin's condition.

Applying these specific conditions helps maintain the botanical integrity and flavor profile of the Modern Gin over time.
