Suitable coating for aluminium exposed to ethanol

I have a problem of corrosion of aluminium LM-25 due to alcohol (example ethanol).
Alcohol forms a white jelly on the aluminium surface when kept together for 2-4 days.This jelly turns to powder when exposed to air. This jelly results in corrosion of aluminium surface.
Please suggest me a suitable plating.

Electroless nickel would be a good candidate. Depending on what and where it is being plated, there are several other candidates.

Ted Mooney is retiring but I have several offers to take it over.
We're working hard to make sure we find it the best new home.
