 |
|
Hi Guys
I have 100's of bottles in my collection all kept in boxes in a room with no natural light and at 15'c and all the fill levels have stayed the same as when I brought them.
But I have been looking at the bottles in the "The Perfect Collection" on the Whisky Auctioneer and looking at the fill levels a lot of them seem low. Now given the guy that owned them and how they where kept I can not work out how they have dropped.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me? |

I noticed that too.
Can't remember offhand where he comes from but I can only assume that they've been kept in a relatively warm atmosphere and have suffered a bit of evaporation.
I have started to parafilm my more expensive bottles despite there being no real evidence of losses. Just in case! |

He was from Colorado and his family where the founders of Pepsi...
Looking at the video and reading about him he was very careful about them which does not make sense.. |

| Surely it is down to storage conditions and perhaps a not so tight fitting stopper/cork on the odd bottle. |

Agreed, that's the obvious answer.
It will be interesting to see if final values are impacted by the levels in the bottles. |

I doubt it, these days people don`t seem to worry about it. A few years back you could get Rare Malts bottles with a low fill level for a knockdown price at auctions but now in the last 2 year you can't.
All I know my bids have been exceeded already, drat ;(
