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
Gold Spot 9 Year Old 135th Anniversary
Spot is a brand of Irish whiskey produced for Mitchell & Sons of Dublin by Irish Distillers at their New Midleton distillery. It is one of the only whiskies in Ireland produced specifically for and retailed by an independent merchant. Historically the brand was produced for the company by Jameson at their Bow Street distillery, until they were merged with Powers and Cork Distillers to form the Irish Distillers group in 1966. Jameson has now reinvented the brand.
Gold Spot is the fifth expression in the Spot Whiskeys range. It joins the four core examples; Green Spot, Yellow Spot, Red Spot and Blue Spot. This whiskey is a limited edition single pot still released to commemorate and celebrate the 135th anniversary of the Mitchell family’s whiskey bonding business. It was matured for 9 years in a combination of sherry casks, bourbon casks, Bordeaux red wine casks and port pipes.
