How the Process Works for Minneapolis Sellers

If you’re trying to decide the best way to sell, it’s important to understand the trade-offs between different methods.
Submit Your Bottle
Use our submission form and share what you know: brand, expression, age statement, condition, fill level, packaging, and any photos you can provide. Photos of the tax strip, label, and fill level are especially useful for older bottles. The form takes a few minutes and allows us to review accurately without back-and-forth.
1
Market Review and Offer
Every submission is reviewed individually. We look at recent comparable sales, current collector demand, production history, and the specific condition of your bottle. The offer reflects what your bottle is actually trading for in the secondary market right now — not a low-ball number designed to leave room for our margin. You'll receive a clear offer with no obligation to accept.
2
Pickup and Payment
Working with a professional whiskey buyer in Chicago is typically the fastest and most reliable approach. You receive a clear offer, avoid fees, and complete the transaction without delays or complications.
3
For most sellers—especially those who value speed, certainty, and ease—this is the preferred route.
