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
Clynelish 1973 Prestonfield House 33 Year Old / 2nd Bottling
Prestonfield House have released a number of excellent whiskies over the years, this Clynelish is certainly one of them!
The second 1973 vintage bottled for them in 2006, again at 33 years old. It is one of 439 bottles drawn from cask #8913.
This is one of several sought after bottles produced by Signatory Vintage for Edinburgh's famous Prestonfield House Hotel, where company director, Andrew Symington, was previously employed as the Assistant Manager. His first bottlings for his previous employer were produced in 1987-88, in Signatory Vintage's first years.
The label features an image of the eponymous Prestonfield Hotel and one of their famous peacocks which roam the grounds.
Cask #8913 is the sister of #8912, which scored an incredible (and all time best for Clynelish) 95 points by Serge Valentin of WhiskyFun.com
