Identification details

The maker or producer name Hibiki and the age statement 12 years are the details to compare with the name Hibiki 12 Year Old. If the packaging says something different, photograph both.
Photographs and condition
Make the markings readable by 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.
Without cleaning anything, photograph fill level, closure, labels, bottle, box and any numbered accessories. Note anything that is damaged, replaced or no longer present.
Storage, accessories and handover
While waiting for review, keep the bottle upright, away from heat and direct light, at a stable room temperature. Do not disturb the seal, stopper, cork or closure, and do not clean the label.
For handover, keep every bottle with its matching box, booklet, certificate and purchase documents.
