Table 2: Standards for Valuation and Quality Requirements for Whisky Acquisition
| Evaluation Project | Specific requirements and their impact on valuation |
| Fill Level & Seal | The seal must be intact, undamaged, without cracks, or signs of resealing. There should be no leakage or evaporation at the bottle opening (low alcohol loss). A high water level guarantees the highest level of purchase price. |

| Labels and Label Status | Information on the bottom of the bottle, import label or tax invoice on the back (if any) must be legible and free from severe water stains, mold, or large areas of damage or yellowing. |
