I want to buy whisky at an auction

Here are five tips to consider when buying whisky at an auction:

  1. Verify Authenticity: Check if the bottle is authentic and not counterfeit. Inspect the bottle for any discrepancies in labels, caps, box labels, packaging, or other details that may indicate it could be inauthentic.
  2. Assess Condition: Examine the bottle’s condition carefully before placing a bid. Look for scratches, cracks, dents, or any other damage. Ensure you know what you’re getting.
  3. Read the Description: Thoroughly read the bottle description and auction terms to understand what is being offered and the conditions of the auction. Some auctions may have a “no return” policy, for example.
  4. Research Market Value: Check the market value of the bottle before placing a bid. This way, you’ll know its worth and avoid overpaying.
  5. Set Your Limit: Determine in advance how much you are willing to pay for the bottle and stick to your limit. Don’t get carried away by the excitement of the auction and bid more than you can afford.
