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
Hazelburn 2005 Cadenhead's 19 Year Old Rum Cask
First distilled in 1997, Hazelburn is the triple distilled single malt produced at Springbank distillery, and is named after the distillery of the same name, mothballed in 1925. Although very popular, Hazelburn remains an elusive whisky. Like Longrow, their peated single malt, it makes up 10% of the annual production at Springbank each year, resulting in around 100 to 150 casks. The first bottlings of Hazelburn were released in 2005.
This Hazelburn was distilled in 2005 and matured for 19 years, including a finishing period in a single rum cask. It was bottled by Wm. Cadenhead in November 2024.
Wm. Cadenhead is Scotland’s oldest independent bottler, founded in 1842 by George Duncan. His brother William Cadenhead joined the company in 1852, taking over after George’s death in 1858. The company got into the whisky bottling business after 1904, when his nephew Robert Duthie took over, and since its sale to J&A Mitchell in 1972, Wm. Cadenhead has become on of the most sought after names in whisky. Its Authentic Collection is the flagship brand, but the portfolio of the company has expanded in recent years with labels like this.
One of 150 bottles.
