Photographs and condition
Use a straight-on view when photographing front and back labels, closure, fill level, bottle base, batch or cask markings, box and accessories. Keep lighting consistent across the overview and close-ups.
Show both normal wear and damage on fill level, closure, labels, bottle, box and any numbered accessories. Mention any damage, repair or missing part without trying to improve it.
Storage, accessories and handover
During the initial review period, keep the whisky upright, stable and away from heat or sunlight. Retain the seal, stopper, cork, closure and label in their present condition.
Before collection, keep every bottle with its matching box, booklet, certificate and purchase documents.
