When the name is Port Ellen 16th Annual Release Whisky, check the maker or producer name Port Ellen on the item itself. Packaging can support that check but cannot replace it.
Photographs and condition
Add a wider companion image for close-ups of front and back labels, closure, fill level, bottle base, batch or cask markings, box and accessories. A wider companion image should place every close-up in context.
To record condition clearly, 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
Before the item is moved, store the whisky upright in a shaded place with a steady room temperature. Leave the seal, stopper, cork, closure and label unchanged.
To avoid mixing similar items, keep every bottle with its matching box, booklet, certificate and purchase documents.
