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
Annandale 2016 Single Bourbon Cask 8 Year Old #836 / The Norseman
The original Annandale distillery was built in 1830 by a former excise officer named George Donald. It operated for the rest of that century, but was acquired at the end of it by John Walker & Sons, who eventually shut it down in 1919 to focus on their now world-famous blends. It was not until 2014 that distilling would return to the site, after it was purchased by David Thomson and Teresa Church 2007 and painstakingly rebuilt. Annandale produces both peated and non-peated single malt, and released the first bottlings of both in 2018.
This Annandale was distilled in November 2016 and matured for 8 years in single bourbon cask #836. It was bottled in December 2024 exclusively for The Norseman.
One of only 231 bottles.
