Common FAQs

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

Minor marks won't significantly devalue it. However, if the label is torn, the vintage year is blurry, or the distillery logo is unclear, it will affect market liquidity and lead to a deduction of approximately 10–20%.

How much will a lowered liquid level or evaporation devalue a 25-year-old Macallan Sherry Oak Red Ribbon Edition?

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's still within the normal range for collection.

What happens to the whisky after it's collected?

We collaborate long-term with local bars, high-end restaurants, private collectors, and overseas auction houses. After professional appraisal, collected items enter the secondary market. The process is transparent and confidential.

Does it significantly impact the value if the wooden box or certificate is missing?

Having the original box and distillery certificate adds value, especially for high-aged and limited editions. Missing them doesn't mean we won't accept it, but the valuation will be adjusted accordingly. We recommend taking photos of the bottle along with any accessories.
