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
Caol Ila 1989 Coilltean Private Cask / Samaroli Import
An unusual single vintage bottling of Caol Ila, distilled in 1989 and bottled in 2000.
The whisky was drawn from the private casks of Maurizio Menichetti, numbers #3261 and #3262. They were bottled for him in Scotland by Coilltean International, and shipped in to Italy by parent company, the legendary Samaroli.
Coilltean was a name devised by Samaroli in the 1980s to disguise duplicate distilleries in his bottling series' and give the illusion of further variety after he over-bought casks of 1975 vintage Glen Garioch. It later becamew the name of the Scottish-based bottling arm of his company in the 1990s, when their long standing arrangement with R.W. Duthie came to an end.
