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).

Bottle Details
This is the 2024 Cellar Aged expression. In an unusual experiment, the whisky has spent the final 6 years of its maturation in the distillery's own limestone cellar, which maintains an average temperature of 8.3°C (A stark contrast to the typical heat of a Kentucky warehouse).
The release is a vatting of just three barrels filled between 2011-2012; one matured for 12 years (15%), and two matured for 13 years (85%). It was bottled in May 2024, and was the distillery's oldest release at the time.
