Question
Can I store cherry brandy in the freezer?  If not, how long will it last once it has been opened?

Answer
Hi Sandy

It's not a good idea to store brandy in a freezer.  Distilled spirits are very high in alcohol, and they may separate (only the water would freeze, as the alcohol needs a MUCH lower temperature.)

But brandy lasts just about forever at room temperature for the same reason--that alcohol protects it very well.  So leave it a room temp, and enjoy it over the next year or two.
