Common FAQs

Does the absence of the wooden box and certificate significantly impact value?

The original box and distillery certificate being complete will add value, especially for aged and limited-edition bottles. Their absence does not mean we won't accept it, but the valuation will be adjusted accordingly. We recommend taking photos of the bottle with its accessories.

How much will a drop in liquid level or evaporation affect the price of a Macallan 18-Year Sherry Oak Handwritten Edition?

It depends on the extent. Evaporation of spirits (known as the "angel's share") causing the liquid level to fall below the shoulder will affect the valuation. As long as it is well-sealed and the drop is slight, it is still within the normal range for collectibles.

How much will scratches or a torn corner on the label affect the price?

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

Are independent bottlings always cheaper than official distillery bottlings?

Not necessarily. Single casks from well-known independent bottlers like Gordon & MacPhail, Signatory, and Cadenhead (especially from closed distilleries) might have a higher market price. Everything depends on the actual product, distillery, and vintage.
