Common FAQs

How much will a damaged or torn label devalue the bottle?

Minor marks will not significantly reduce the price; however, if the label is torn, the vintage text is blurred, or the distillery logo is unclear, it will affect market liquidity, leading to a deduction of approximately 10–20%.

High-price purchase of Macallan 18 Year Old 1970 Macallan 1970 Special Selection 18 years. How much will a lowered liquid level or evaporation devalue the bottle?

It depends on the extent. Evaporation of spirits (commonly known as "angel's share") causing the liquid level to drop below the shoulder will affect the valuation; as long as the seal is good and the drop is minor, it is still considered within the normal range for collection.

Do you accept distillery commemorative editions or limited editions?

Yes, and they are a key focus. Anniversary editions, single casks, original strength bottlings, and discontinued/rare editions are often highly sought after by collectors, and will fetch a higher price if they come with the original box and certificate.

What happens to the whiskey after it is recycled?

We have long-term partnerships with local bars, high-end restaurants, private collectors, and overseas auction houses. After professional appraisal, the recycled items enter the secondary market, with a transparent and confidential process.
