THE CASK RECORD
Casks in bond aren't photographed one by one. It isn't how the industry works, and a stock image would tell you nothing about the cask you're buying.
So every cask is drawn from its own registered data: the stencil on its head, the size of its cask type, the colour of its wood. No two look alike, because no two records are alike.
WHAT "VERIFIED" MEANS
Each fact on a cask's record carries its own evidence state, shown above. Some are Confirmed: checked by us against a document from the supplier or the warehouse itself. Most of the rest are Provided: supplied to us by the supplier, and not yet independently checked by us. A few are Not yet available at all: we don't currently record fill dates, for example.
Before any cask is listed, our team reviews the supplier's data for that cask and decides whether to list it. That review is a real, human step, but it isn't the same thing as independently checking every individual fact about the cask against a document or the warehouse itself, and we don't claim it is.
