Yamazaki Heavily Peated 2013: identification and appraisal guide
A first appraisal of Yamazaki Heavily Peated 2013 starts with honest photos of the whisky bottle, its markings and the accessories kept with it. Treat the maker or producer name Yamazaki as an identity check. Photographs of wear belong in the condition sequence.
Identification details
- Maker: Yamazaki
- Product name: Yamazaki Heavily Peated 2013
- Category: Japanese whisky
- Date or decade shown: 2013
- Marks and details to photograph: the distillery, brand, age or vintage statement, limited-edition number and edition markings
Yamazaki Heavily Peated 2013 should agree with the maker or producer name Yamazaki and the date wording 2013 on the item. Any mismatch with the box or certificate needs another photograph.
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 reflections low and show where every detail appears.
Capture the current condition of fill level, closure, labels, bottle, box and any numbered accessories. Record the condition of the item and packaging as two related checks.
Storage, accessories and handover
Before handover, stand the bottle upright in a secure, shaded location at an even temperature. Avoid handling the seal, stopper, cork, closure or label.
For the initial review, keep every bottle with its matching box, booklet, certificate and purchase documents.
