Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What factors mainly affect the purchase price of Yamazaki 1989 single malt whisky? A: The most critical factors include: whether the accessories are complete (original wooden or cardboard box, instruction manual in both Chinese and English), the condition of the label (whether it is yellowed, damaged, or has water stains), the water level (whether there has been significant loss of alcohol due to improper storage), and the integrity of the seal . The closer the storage condition is to its perfect condition from the factory, the higher the purchase price will naturally be.

Even if it's a bare bottle or not in perfect condition, we will still provide you with a fair and reasonable valuation based on the value of the whisky itself and its market availability.
