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
Old Glenn 12 Year Old Highland Single Malt
A mystery single malt from the Highland region, aged for 12 years and specially selected for the Asda supermarket chain by Douglas MacNiven & Co.
Douglas MacNiven were incorporated in 1935 as a subsidiary of the MacDonald & Muir (later the Glenmorangie Company). The specialised in blends, and also produced supermarket single malt brands such as this Old Glenn, and Glen Morven. Perhaps their most famous release (or infamous), was the Oddbin's exclusive 80:20 blended malt, produced when MacDonald & Muir accidentally tipped some younger single malt from Glen Moray into some 21 year old Glenmorangie. When LVMH took over the Glenmorangie Company in 2004, they opted to focus solely on their Ardbeg and Glenmorangie single malt brands, and the Douglas MacNiven branch has been shelved ever since.
The bottle shape here is the same used for Glen Moray at the time, a probable indication of the source of this whisky.
