Is Whisky More Tolerable to Hot Temperatures?

David_Kaufman · June 16, 2015, 11:23pm

I am looking to purchase some whisky from out of state and have it shipped to AZ. I wouldn’t dare ship any wine this time of year, but I was curious if spirits (whisky in general) are prone to heat damage/spoilage/leakage the same way wine is? These bottles are screw caps if that makes any difference.

Thanks

absolutely… any idea how hot those rickhouses get where the bourbon is stored? it can be sent in 100 degree weather… it has the stuffing to withstand.

David: Does heat hurt whiskey?
Paul: Absolutely!

That’s how I read it anyways.
