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 "+ £5.00" (reflecting a £5.00 increment).

Bottle Details
Expressions 25 Year Old Pure Aged Pot Still Rum
Brainchild of the late Ian Linslay as a labour of love and ode to his father, John Linslay. Due to market demands in the 1940s John - director and blender at Alnwick Rum Co. - worked primarily with coloured rums under 3 years to produce inexpensive Dark navy rums that were in vogue at the time. He dreamed, however, of creating his ultimate rum - pure, aged pot still distillate. In 2016 Ian finally realised his fathers dream.
A marriage of rums from three Caribbean countries (Barbados, Guyana and Jamaica) and 7 distilleries - some of which are now lost, this first expression is aged a minimum of 25 years, and some as much as 33 years.
Sadly Ian passed away in 2018 shortly before the realisation of the 2nd expression - passing the legacy on to his own children - and leaving the 1st expression as the culmination of two life's work and a benchmark for those who follow.
