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
Glen Garioch 1978 Hand Filled 40 Year Old Cask #11001 / Bourbon Barrel - with 2 x Glasses
A single cask release from one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, established in 1797.
Filled into cask on 16th November 1978 and bottled on the same date in 2018, its 40th birthday. Unlike other distillery hand fill bottlings, those at Glen Garioch are drawn directly from the cask, meaning they continue to age until they are emptied. Limited to only 131 bottles, of which this is 114, making it one of the final few available.
This is one of only a select number whiskies of this age available from the distillery, which is famous for the quality of its small batch single malts.
This has received glowing reviews from independent whisky critics.
Personally signed by the Suntory Master Blender of Glen Garioch Distillery, Olivier Fagnen.
