Discover If it is Possible for Tequila to Go Bad

Does tequila spoil? The short answer is no — it doesn’t. When kept properly sealed, just as it was purchased, a bottle of tequila will remain stable indefinitely, holding on to its flavour and character, whether it’s Reposado, Añejo or Plata. That said, a few other questions naturally follow: how should it be stored once opened? How long will it remain at its best? And what makes Olmeca Altos stand out from other brands?

The proper way to store tequila

First and foremost, you ought to keep your bottle in a cool location. Should you expose tequila to prolonged heat, you risk it deteriorating and having to dispose of it. Keep it away from direct sunlight. Once you’ve enjoyed part of the bottle and wish to store the remainder, you might consider transferring it to a smaller bottle that ensures an airtight seal.

When tequila declines, it generally means a loss of some alcohol strength or flavour, though it seldom presents any health risk. While you can still use tequila that’s slightly past its peak, the cocktail won’t taste quite the same. With a premium spirit like Olmeca Altos, careful storage ensures you can savour its exceptional quality to the fullest.

After opening, tequila can begin to deteriorate

Once opened, tequila gradually loses both alcohol strength and its distinctive flavour notes. While many spirits will keep for up to a year, tequila is best enjoyed within a couple of months to truly appreciate its complexity. The shift affects taste rather than safety, making timely enjoyment the key to getting the best from your bottle.

Furthermore, another point worth considering is that we shouldn’t place it in the fridge or indeed in the freezer. Should we do so, we shall begin to compromise quality in the freezer. The best approach is to store it in the same location where we originally kept it: a dry, cool spot away from direct sunlight.

Olmeca Altos, quality tequila

It’s quite straightforward, really—it’s all about excellence. When we take the care to store our bottle properly, we do so for excellence. When we tend to it once opened, we do so for excellence. If it loses its bouquet, flavour, or general characteristics, we’re discussing excellence. And if you’re concerned with excellence, then you’re discussing Olmeca Altos.
