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
Glenlivet 1971 Samaroli Sherry Wood / Aquarelles 1993
A fantastic vintage bottling of Glenlivet from Silvano Samaroli. This was bottled in 1993 as part of the Aquarelles series, along with a 1977 Ardmore, and a 1979 vintage Springbank. An 'aquarelle' is a type of watercolour painting produced using thin transparent watercolours. All of the paintings featured on these labels were produced by Silvano himself. He also used the image on this example for a 25th anniversary bottling of Glenlivet in the same year.
Samaroli is perhaps Italy's most revered independent bottler of Scotch whisky. With an impeccable taste in single cask whiskies, and an eye for aesthetics (if not English spelling at times!), he is regarded by many as a visionary. Many of his bottles now occupy deserved sports on the pantheon of whisky greats.
This was distilled in 1971 and bottled from sherry wood cask #10214 by R.W. Duthie, one of the last of their partnership with Samaroli which ended not long after due to their workload commitments with parent firm, Wm. Cadenhead.
One of 900 bottles.
