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
An homage to one of America's greatest distilleries: Stitzel-Weller. Following the bourbon boom of the 21st century, Diageo revived its interest in American whiskey, here utilising the legend of Stitzel-Weller for the Blade & Bow brand.
The 22-year-old bourbon is a blend of whiskies distilled at Buffalo Trace distillery (then George T. Stagg) and Bernheim (now owned by Heaven Hill). The marriage was then aged and bottled at Stitzel-Weller by Diageo.
Each bottle of Blade & Bow is complete with one of five numbered keys, which represent those that once hung on the distillery door.
First introduced in 2015, this expression is only produced sporadically in small batches.
Blade and Bow 22 Year Old
An homage to one of America's greatest distilleries: Stitzel-Weller.
This well-aged bourbon is a blend of whiskies distilled at Buffalo Trace distillery (then George T. Stagg) and Bernheim (now Heaven Hill). The marriage was then aged and bottled at the legendary Stitzel-Weller distillery by its current owners, Diageo.
The distillery has been closed since 1992 but has continued to be used as a warehouse since then. Each bottle of Blade and Bow is complete with one of five numbered keys, which represent those that once hung on the distillery door.
