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
Bruichladdich 1968 Bar Metro 16 Year Old
A spectacularly rare example of independently bottled Bruichladdich. This 16 year old comprises one of four in the first ever bottlings for the esteemed Bar Metro in Milan, which was founded by Giorgio d'Ambrosio in 1966.
The bar was a favourite of connoisseurs for its incredible selection, and Giorgio decided to bottle his very own whisky for the first time in 1984. All four of the first bottlings were Bruichladdich, which he purchased from the legendary Silvano Samaroli. The receipt for the transaction, dated 28th May 1984, lists the sale of five 16 year old (1968 vintage), ten 17 year old (1967 vintage) and ten 18 year old (1966) vintage casks.
The bottles were filled for Bar Metro by R.W. Duthie in Aberdeen.
