Does keeping vodka longer increase its quality?!
Does keeping vodka longer increase its quality?
Does vodka have the same attribute as wine, where the longer you keep it, the better it becomes?? or does it deteriorate with years?
Answers:
Nope...vodka does not age. No spirit ages once it's bottled, but brown spirits (brandy, whisky, rum) are aged in wooden barrrels and continue to age while in the barrel. Once out of the barrel and into a bottle, there's no aging. Vodka never sees a barrel (or it's no longer vodka) so there's no aging to begin with, much less in the bottle. What you have when you first buy the vodka is what you'll have 20 years from now if that bottle lasts that long.
Similarly, there's nothing in vodka to deteriorate over time, either, so the 20 year thing still applies.
it does not have the same effect as wine ... if you open a bottle of wine, exposing it to air, and then recork it will go bad.
So, grab the martini shaker and open the vodka .... shaken, not stirred ......
Vodka is a distilled spirit and does not 'go bad'. Wine is a fermented grape/fruit and oxygen will cause the wine to 'go bad'. Wine also has a shelf life, if red, for from 3 to 10 yrs or if a white 1-4 years. Now you know :)
Once any liquor for example scotch, I label says aged 20 year's, Once it's taken out of the vat that it is produced in stops aging and the only wine that improves with age in the bottle are Bordeaux's.I hope I answered your question's.
No, it will not get better. wine has other components, is barrel aged and has much less alcohol and it changes in the bottle while vodka is never barrel aged and is basically just alcohol and water as it is destilate..
It does not get better with age and it does not go bad either
