JM:

If you stored your bottles on their side, the alcohol can eat through the cork and allow air to reach the spirits- which could have an adverse effect.

Thanks,
Seth

JM, greetings from London.

Storing your white or brown spirits on their side tends to eat away at their metal closures and may cause nasty stains. We have whisk(e)ys from the early 1900s which are still happily snoozing, standing up. And a bottle of Cognac from the mid 1800s – likewise, no ‘part des anges’ yet and no seepage.

Enjoy!

Currently in the glass? A Patron Silver Margarita with a half-salted rim and freshly squeezed lime juice. Yum.

“Let’s take a quick look at your collection. Any unopened bottles of white or brown spirits that have been stored upright and away from sun or heat should be fine, even if they’re decades old. ”

Storing them on their side affects them how?
