"The number-one mistake is storing anything full-proof or over on its side instead of upright. Full-proof liquors will work against the cork at the top of the bottle, degrading it as time goes on."
"Collecting is great, but at some point you owe it to the artists behind the liquid to actually enjoy it! Not only does this make sense in terms of craft appreciation, but it's also a good tip for getting the best quality from the expensive spirits you purchase."
Storing liquor correctly is crucial for maintaining its quality. Full-proof spirits should always be stored upright to prevent cork degradation. Keeping bottles on a flat surface away from direct light and heat is also important. Additionally, collectors should not hold onto bottles indefinitely; enjoying the spirits is part of appreciating the craftsmanship. Unopened bottles can last indefinitely if stored properly, but once opened, they should be consumed to ensure the best quality.
