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.

Glenlivet Code
With it becoming increasingly harder to talk about no-age statement whisky from mystery casks, Glenlivet have hit upon a novel idea... make the mystery part of the fun.
The Glenlivet Code is the 2018 follow up to the Cipher, and cask details and tasting notes are set to be revealed at the end of the year.
From the Glenlivet website:
\" “I’d like to introduce to you our latest challenge. this year’s limited edition is a labyrinth of flavours that will test the senses of even the most discerning whisky drinker. I invite you to take the ultimate test. Can you unlock the taste of The Glenlivet Code?” - Alan Winchester, Master Distiller.
The Glenlivet Code is encased in a black bottle with no information about casks used and tasting notes. Discover this whisky for yourself and challenge your senses to see if you can unlock it.\"
... if you want to figure out what your spending your hard earned cash on you need to decode the puzzle.
