Cool, dry and dark storage preserves flavour stability over the stated shelf life.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Stark 3.
First in first out rotation prevents older batches ageing on the shelf.

Documentation is not paperwork for its own sake; on storage and shelf life it is the difference between a clean clearance and a delayed one.
