Description
My whiskey appraisals include historical research using sources not found on the Internet, a thorough condition analysis, risk assessment of whether your bottle is fake or has been refilled, comps of my personal collection transactions as well as past auction results and comps. Delivered in professional report form good enough for insurance purposes.
Please keep in mind my specialty is pre-prohibition, prohibition medicinal, and early repeal whiskey. In general, I don’t appraise scotch, Maker’s Mark, Jack Daniel’s, Jim Beam ceramics, or non-whiskey liquors. Please contact me first before placing an order in case you have any of these that you want appraised.
Why people trust my whiskey appraisals:
- I’ve been collecting for 40 years and learned from my father before me
- I’ve been involved in hundreds of transactions and been to dozens of shows
- I have vast knowledge of my niche and resources unavailable to the public
- I have a network of experts I can reach out to when it comes to specific brands and eras
- I enjoy doing it!
When you pay for a valuation of your whiskey bottles you’re going to get straight talk from me as my priority is to give you the best assessment possible while becoming a better expert. I love seeing the bottles that are out there and new ones keep popping up all the time!
I charge $50 per example. So, if you have 5 of the same exact bottle it would count as one order. However, if you have 5 bottles that are all different brands and/or eras that you want appraised you will need to order 5 appraisals. For collections over 5 different bottles, please contact me for custom pricing.
