By any chance, are you a new whisky enthusiast? If your answer is yes, then you are probably wondering how you will preserve whisky, without having a cellar. Don't worry! There are other ways, here take a look at these steps to see what's the best way to protect your whisky like a pro online shop!
Keep Whisky Upright!
Remember, whisky isn’t wine, so instead of storing them horizontally, always keep them upright; vertically, because the cork stopper of whisky will slowly disintegrate as it can’t withstand the 80% or higher alcohol volume.
Direct Sunlight is Big NO-NO
Light may be good for plants, but not for whisky. Sunlight is the biggest enemy of whisky. So never wonder why whisky shops or even online stores preserve whisky in an isolated cabinet of the place.
Constant Temperature is BEST
Believe it or not, whisky is very sensitive when it comes to temperature, so if you can try to maintain temperature ranging between 15 to 20°c (59-68°f), then it would be the best. But if you can’t, don’t worry, you can store them in room temperature, and it wouldn’t be a problem at all.
Keep Corks Moist
Even though you can’t store whisky horizontally, it doesn’t mean you can’t do it sometimes. Yes, you read it right, you can do it sometimes because it helps to keep the cork moist, so try to rest the whisky horizontally for an hour or two, to ensure a proper moist cork.
TAKE NOTE: For already open bottles of whisky, you should try as much as possible to store it away from light, because it can prolong the lifespan of two-third whisky for a year long.
Just learn these steps and sooner or later you will know better on how to preserve your whisky. But if you still have no collection yet, then consider buying whisky from an online shop called Platinum Wines & Spirits in Singapore, as they can deliver your choice, whether Hibiki or scotch whisky at the best price!
