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.

Sullivan's Cove 2008 Single French Oak Cask #TD0281
Located on the south-eastern coast of the eponymous island, the Tasmania distillery was established in 1994 and is Australia’s second oldest operational distillery. A settlement at Sullivans Cove began when a group of military personal and convicts arrived on the west bank of the river Derwent in 1804. Having access to such pure water and fertile land, the cove was perfect for whisky production and by 1824 the settlement had sixteen legal distilleries. This was not to last thanks to Governor John Franklin, who barred the act of distillation in 1838 due to his belief that spirits were a bad influence on people. This period of prohibition lasted for over 150 years but finally, in 1994, Patrick Maguire founded Tasmania distillery. He would go on to enjoy great success and receive worldwide praise for his releases which include the now legendary French Oak single cask stock. Maguire eventually sold his distillery in 2016 to a family-owned company led by Adam Sable, the former general manager of Scotland’s Bladnoch distillery. Today the distillery is renamed after its acclaimed Sullivans Cove single malt brand, but also boasts a small profile of various other spirits, including brandy, gin and vodka.
This single malt was distilled in May 2008 and matured in single French oak cask TD0281. It was bottled in August 2021.
One of 420 bottles.
