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
Woodford Reserve Master's Collection / 1838 Sweet Mash
Woodford Reserve is produced by Brown-Forman at the historic former Old Oscar Pepper distillery, who's alumni included James E. Crow and E.H. Taylor. It is known now as the Woodford Reserve distillery after it was purchased from former owners Labrot & Graham. The distillery is one of the few in the US to use only alembic pot stills (although the regular release is contains column still bourbon from the Brown-Forman Early Times distillery in Louisville).
Released in 2008, this was the fourth releases in Woodford Reserve's Master's Collection. It features a classic bourbon mash but without the setback used in the traditional Sour Mash. This reduces the acidity, stressing the yeast and producing a different set of congeners and thus a different flavour profile.
Batch number 4A.
Bottle number 856 of only 920.
