What is the Shelf Life of Homemade Blackberry Brandy?
In general, fruit-infused brandy should last between 6 months to a year when stored properly in a cool, dark place. However, it’s always a good idea to periodically check the flavor and aroma of your blackberry brandy to ensure it hasn’t gone bad.
Regular brandy, once opened, can last up to a year or even two years before the flavor and quality start to significantly decline.
