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 a very rare and spectacular crystal decanter produced by Aberlour to commemorate the distillery's 100th birthday in 1979. This represents one of the earlier examples of the increased single malt output from the distillery under the ownership of Pernod Ricard, particularly in more premium bottlings like this.
Aberlour released various examples of these Edinburgh Crystal decanters, some containing much darker liquid than others. Hang-tags often denoted the vintage and cask number but there was not one present here.
Aberlour - Glenlivet 1879- 1979 Centenary Decanter
