Bidding advice
You can place bids either under the lot image on the main auction page or on the right side of the individual lot page.
Placing a Maximum Bid
Use the "Set your bid limit" button on the left side of the bidding panel to enter the highest amount you're willing to bid on a lot. Our system will then automatically raise your bid in set increments if you’re outbid, up to your maximum. If someone bids above your set limit, we’ll notify you by email so you can choose whether to increase your bid.
Placing a Single Bid
Alternatively, place a single bid by selecting the button on the right side of the bidding panel. The button displays the amount needed for the next increment. For example, if the current highest bid is £50.00, the button will show "+ £55.00" (reflecting a £5.00 increment).
Incremental Bidding Explained
Our system increases bids based on preset increments, as shown in the table below, whether you set a maximum bid or make a single bid.
Bottle Details
Hearach Single Malt 2023 / Batch No.7
Isle of Harris is a malt whisky distillery on the island of the same name, the second to have been built in the Outer Hebrides in the 21st century (after Abhainn Dearg on Lewis). The idea for the distillery was hatched by Anderson Bakewell who founded Isle of Harris Distillers Ltd in 2007. Bakewell was concerned by the dwindling population on Harris and believed a distillery would be an ideal long-term employment solution. Construction began in the town of Tarbert in 2014 and was completed the following year. The distillery produces both single malt whisky and gin, the latter of which is marketed using its eponymous brand name. The first single malt flowed from its stills in December 2015 and was introduced as The Hearach in September 2023.
This is the first publicly-available whisky released by the distillery, matured in a combination of Bourbon and Sherry casks. It was bottled in eight batches, with Batch No.1 only available to distillery visitors.
The eight inaugural batches gave a total yield of 12,313 bottles.
