Shelf life of black brand whisky

I haven't opened a bottle for more than ten years.

The most important thing is to avoid direct sunlight or other types of glare for a long time and stand up straight. In addition, if possible, try to put it in a cool place. Although whisky is more resistant to high temperature than wine, it is better to keep it in the shade.

In addition, when not drinking, the bottle cap should be tightly closed.

After drinking all kinds of spirits, if the wine stopper is a cork, you can wash it and leave it. Whisky (including other spirits) should not be laid flat like wine, otherwise alcohol will corrode the cork. However, an upright wine bottle causes the cork to dry for a long time and break easily, so you should always have a spare cork.

Pay attention to the time after drinking.

Many people think that spirits are high in alcohol content and stable in body, so they can be drunk slowly and stored slowly after opening a bottle-in fact, this is not appropriate enough. After opening a bottle, the quality of spirits can be maintained for a period of time, but the longer the better.

The stability of spirits is relative to wine, sake and other low-alcohol wines, and it will also change when exposed to the air for a long time (so spirits are also called "sober up"). After opening a bottle of spirits, the more you drink, the more air there is in the bottle, and the faster the oxidation of the wine will be. Moderate oxidation can improve the aroma and taste of wine, but excessive oxidation will inevitably lead to the decline of wine quality.
