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
Dalmore 50 Year Old Decanter 10cl
A very interesting bottle, the liquid has a long and complex history. The casks used combine vintages from 1868, 1878, 1922, 1926 and 1939. A brief summary of these casks is below:
Cask one: Distilled in June 1868 and transferred into sherry wood in August 1880 and again in October 1891.
Cask two: Distilled February 1878 then re-racked into sherry wood in April 1890 and again in April 1908.
Cask three: Distilled March 1922.
These three casks were then “racked” – one in May 1926, one in July 1926 and one in August 1926. Then in September 1977 all 3 were then re-racked to a single, unique butt and bottled in February 1978.
Two further casks were filled in 1939 and bottled at 52 years of age in October 1991.
All the above whiskies were then blended under the master craftsmanship of Richard Paterson to create this stunning 50 Year Old.
