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
J.T.S. Brown Kentucky Straight Bourbon 1 Litre 2004
This is a bourbon brand named after John Thomson Street Brown, who alongside his half-brother, George Garvin Brown, founded the now illustrious Brown-Forman company. John's involvement in that firm was short-lived however, and after a disagreement with George he struck out on his own to form what would eventually become JTS Brown & Sons, after several of his progeny grew up to join him in business. It was actually the the JTS Brown & Sons company that built the Old Prentice distillery in Lawrenceburg, which is now better known as Four Roses, and one of the Kentucky distilleries on the National Register of Historic Buildings for its distinctive mission style architecture.
The JTS Brown company was eventually sold to the Ripy Brothers in 1955, who produced it at their distillery in Lawrenceburg (now Wild Turkey) before selling it on to Heaven Hill in the 1970s. It was Heaven Hill who distilled and bottled this version in 2004.
