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
Elijah Craig 1997 Single Barrel 18 Year Old
Elijah Craig is one of the flagship brands produced by Heaven Hill, named after an 18th century pastor, often cited (although probably incorrectly) as the first man to distil bourbon in the US.
This is a 18 year old and was matured in a single new charred oak barrel.
Distilled on 16th of September 1997 and filled into barrel #4138.
Interestingly, when this was distilled Heaven Hill were not in possession of a distillery. Their historic home in Bardstown was lost in a fire in 1996 and they did purchase Bernheim from United Distillers until 1999. In this intervening period, they continued to produce their own recipe bourbon by renting stills at neighbouring distilleries, chiefly Brown-Forman and Jim Beam.
