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
Dalmunach 2016 Duncan Taylor 4 Year Old The Octave / Loch Fyne Whiskies
Duncan Taylor was founded in Glasgow in 1938 as a cask broker and trading company. Its modern history began in 2001 when a former Glendronach employee, Euan Shand, purchased the firm and moved it to Huntly in Aberdeenshire, using the impressive cask portfolio it has amassed over the 20th century to become one of the premier independent bottlers in Scotland.
Part of The Octave range, this Dalmunach was aged for 4 years in cask #10828328 and finished for 8 months in an Octave cask before being bottled in 2021.
One of Scotland's most modern distilleries, Dalmunach was constructed by Chivas Brothers in 2014. It stands on the site of the former Imperial distillery in Speyside (dismatled the year prior), and is named after a water pool in the local area. Overseen by Douglas Cruickshank, who began his career at Imperial, the design of Dalmunach retains several features of its predecessor, including recycling the red brick from the original mill for its entranceway, and wood from the washbacks to clad the walls of the tun room. The first Dalmunach single malt was bottled by Chivas Brothers as part of its Reserve Collection in 2019.
One of only 90 bottles.
