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
Glenfiddich 1979 Samaroli / Cream Labels
An independent release of Glenfiddich is a rare thing to see, especially when produced by as sought after a bottler as Silvano Samaroli.
Samaroli is perhaps Italy's most revered independent bottler of Scotch whisky. With an impeccable taste in single cask whiskies, and an eye for aesthetics (if not English spelling at times!), he is regarded by many as a visionary. Many of his bottles now occupy deserved sports on the pantheon of whisky greats.
This is a part of a mini-series of three 1970s vintage single malts, known as the Cream Labels, bottled in 1990. The range includes a Bowmore and a Glen Grant, and is often expanded to also comprise an earlier Coilltean labelled Glen Garioch and a more recent Glen Keith due to their similar labels and vintages.
This was bottled for Samaroli by long-time partners, R.W. Duthie of Aberdeen, one of the last before they would part ways later that decade.
Bottle 412 of 480 drawn from single cask #14797.
