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
Hazelwood Reserve 17 Year Old 105 Proof
This is the first public bottling of Kininvie distillery.
With the blossoming success of its Glenfiddich and Balvenie single malt brands, William Grant & Sons decided to open a third distillery on their Dufftown estate in 1990. This distillery was Kininvie, and it eased pressure on Glenfiddich and Balvenie by shouldering the responsibility of provision for the company's blends. In recent years it has become the key component in the best-selling Monkey Shoulder blended malt, but occasional distillery bottlings of its single malt have been produced over the years, initially as limited releases for the Hazelwood brand, and later under its own name too. The first of the Hazelwood single malts was a 15 year old in 2006, with the Kininvie single malt brand launched in 2013. The distillery is also home to the Kininvie Works \"innovation arm\" of the company, and released the first experimental whiskies produced there in 2019.
This whisky was distilled on 9th August 1990 and aged in first fill sherry casks for 17 years before being bottled at 105 proof on 28th February 2008.
This 105 proof release celebrates the contributions of Janet Sheed Roberts to the Grant family business.
This bottle is being sold from the Pat's Whisk(e)y private collection which, numbering in excess of 9,000 bottles and over 2,000 miniatures, is the single largest collection of whisky ever to be brought to auction.
