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
This is the serendipitous result of an accident that occurred when a batch of 12-year-old Glen Moray got mixed into a larger batch of (allegedly much older) Ardbeg - back in the day when both distilleries were owned by The Glenmorangie Company.
The composition of the blend is 20% Glen Moray and 80% Ardbeg. Released in 2005, there were 16,000 bottles made available.
Ardbeg Serendipity 12 year old
