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. Avoid filters that could change colour or surface appearance.
Keep the present state visible by showing fill level, closure, labels, bottle, box and any numbered accessories. Keep repairs, stains, cracks or other flaws visible in the images.

After taking the photos, 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.
