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
Blackened x Willett Madeira Finish Kentucky Rye / Masters of Whiskey Series
This is the first in a series of releases titled Masters of Whiskey. Each edition will showcase a collaboration between Blackened and a renowned whiskey producer.
Looking at the name of the product, you would be forgiven for thinking that this is Blackened's whiskey finished in ex-Willett casks. This is not the case.
For the first in the series, Blackened’s head distiller and blender Rob Dietrich teamed up with Willett’s master distiller Drew Kulsveen. They selected a range of high-rye and low-rye Willett whiskey which ranged between of 6.5 and 8 years old. Once the casks had been married together, the liquid was then finished at the Blackened facility in ex-Madeira casks. During these final 14 weeks, the liquid was subjected to the company’s signature technique of sonic-enhancement. This involves playing loud Metallica records directly at the casks.
The final product was bottled at cask strength and released in August 2021.
