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
Port Charlotte 16 Year Old / Feis Ile 2020
Port Charlotte is a heavily peated single malt produced at Bruichladdich distillery, introduced after Murray McDavid purchased the distillery 2001. The brand is named after a historic distillery in the eponymous neighbouring town. Having been traditionally an un-peated single malt due to the needs of its formers owners for blends, Murray McDavid were quick to diversify the Bruichladdich portfolio, also introducing the even peatier Lochindaal and Octomore.
Originally intended as Bruichladdich distillery's Feis Ile release for 2020, after the festival was sadly cancelled, this was offered up by an online ballot in May that year instead. The whisky is a vatting of three parcels of 2003 vintage single malt. The first were refill hogsheads, recasked into first fill bourbon barrels in 2012. The second were first fill bourbon barrels reracked into ex-Sauternes casks in 2013. The final parcel was a variety of ex-sherry, ex-bourbon and virgin oak casks.
One of 3,000 bottles.
