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
Drambuie Jacobite Decanter 45 Year Old
Named after Scotland's uprising of the 1740s, where apparently Drambuie's origins begin. Bonnie Prince Charlie was being pursued after the Battle of Culloden and had to escape from the Isle of Skye. He was assisted by John MacKinnon and as thanks the Prince gave him the recipe to his personal liqueur. The Clan MacKinnon passed this through the generations and it would eventually become Drambuie.
This special edition is a blend of 21 year old whiskies that were then aged for 24 years in a combination of bourbon and sherry oak, then mixed with Drambuie's mix of herbs and spices.
The liquid is filled into a hand blown tear drop decanter with stopper and presented with a replica Spottiswoode \"Amen\" Glass which was used by Jacobite sympathisers and ownership would have constituted treason. The set also includes a hand bound 32 page leather booklet by Ian Buxton telling the story of both the rebellion and the set.
One of only 150 sets.
Please note general condition.
