Brandy how long you can keep?

Brandy can be kept for a very long time, especially if it's a high-quality product. Here's a breakdown:

Opened Brandy:

* High-quality brandy: Can last for several years, even after opening, if stored properly.

* Lower-quality brandy: Will start to lose flavor and aroma after a few months.

Unopened Brandy:

* High-quality brandy: Can last for decades, or even centuries, if stored properly.

* Lower-quality brandy: Will likely stay good for many years, but may lose some flavor and aroma over time.

Storage Tips for Brandy:

* Keep it in a cool, dark place: Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

* Store it upright: This prevents the cork from drying out and letting air in.

* Close the bottle tightly after each use: This helps prevent oxidation.

Signs that Brandy has gone bad:

* Cloudy appearance: This could indicate the presence of bacteria or mold.

* Sour or vinegary smell: This is a sign of spoilage.

* Changes in flavor and aroma: Brandy that has gone bad will taste and smell different than it should.

In general, if you're unsure about the age or condition of a bottle of brandy, it's best to err on the side of caution and discard it.
