If you’re investing in a new liquor cabinet, getting the most out of your favorite beverages is probably high on your priority list. The last thing you want is to find out your whiskey or cabernet went bad since your last pour.
For the best results, store bottles in the dark. If your liquor cabinet shuts tight, this won’t be an issue. But if it features glass doors or an open shelf, think carefully about how you display your bottles.
Temperature is also important — the cooler, the better. Avoid placing your liquor cabinet in direct sunlight. If your cabinet sits in the sun for too long, it could heat up inside and degrade your liquor collection. Invest in a small wine fridge to store your most prized bottles and make them last as long as possible.
