I'm not sure so I make sure it doesn't stay in the cupboard for too long...

Dark in the cupboard. Drink at room temp with just a couple of drops of distilled water to open up the flavors.

With Scotch, the aging process is complete. It doesn't age or take on any flavors once on glass. So, keep it in a cool, dry place. Avoid sunlight and excessive heat. Do not store "on the cork". Let it sit upright. The trick is to drink it before anything can happen to it. If you let it sit a long time, the cork can dry rot and lose it's seal. That, however may take a very long time.

No matter how you store it, whenever you drink scotch you must reminisce about Bill Brasky.

That stuff doesn't last long enough around my house for storage to be an issue.

it might be around for awhile. i have a bottle of vodka that is safely ensconced in the freezer, where its been living for about three months.
although, i must say, this glenlivet is nice.

I have a serious related question. I have one of those old Soviet surplus flasks with the Lenin head on the side and on the screw-on cap. I recently filled it with bourbon for my motorcycle ride to dry areas of UT and forgot to bring it. I just drank it the other night and the bourbon looked a lot darker than normal. Previously I had only ever had vodka in that flask. Do steel flasks do something to bourbon? Tasted ok, but looked a little suspect.
