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
Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon
The flagship product from the Sazzerac company's Buffalo Trace distillery.
Sazerac caused quite a stir in 1999 when they renamed their Ancient Age distillery as Buffalo Trace, as it was not the name of a product that they sold. After much confusion, they enlisted the help of former Master Distiller, Elmer T. Lee, who found the barrels ageing in their warehouse that would become the first batch of Buffalo Trace striaght bourbon. It proved so popular that he was subsequently invited to assist them with replicating the flavour for their core range product.
