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
Isle of Skye 21 Year Old Decanter
Ian Macleod & Co was founded in 1933, and was acquired by Peter J Russell thirty years later, running alongside William Maxwell & Co as subsidiaries for many years, producing a range of blends and independent single malt bottlings. The Isle of Skye blend was created long before the Peter J. Russel takeover, and continues to be a popular part of the current company's protfolio to this day. Peter J Russell rebranded as Ian Macleod Distillers in 2003, at the same time as achieving their long held ambition of becoming distillery owners, acquiring Glengoyne, and later, Tamdhu and Rosebank.
This 21 year old is one of 1000 bottled in a Wade porcelain decanter.
