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
Karuizawa Five Decades 1960 - 2000
One of the most exciting new releases of the past year. This very exclusive bottling of Karuizawa was launched at department store Isetan in Shinjuku.
The whisky contains a vatting of casks from five decades of Karuizawa, from the 1960s right up until the distilleries closure in 2000, only leaving out a very low period of production during the 1950s. The last part of the story, the whisky was then transferred into an ex-Karuizawa cask for a number of years before being bottled in 2015.
This delightfully engraved decanter is presented in a well crafted wooden box with keys included.
The guys at Nonjatta have commented on this bottle as Karuizawa's 'Swan Song'.
