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
Kentucky Owl Straight Bourbon Batch #7
Distilled and bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky, this is \"the wise man's bourbon.\" Kentucky Owl was a 2014 re-addition to the world of American whisky, as the original Dedman family distillery was left high and dry by prohibition in the 1920s and its stock infamously looted by none other than Al Capone himself. Revived by great-grandson, Dixon Dedman, the Kentucky owl is back and flying higher than ever. While the Kentucky Owl brand remains a sourced bourbon from other distilleries, it was purchased by the Stoli Group in 2017 who broke the ground for construction of the Kentucky Owl Park distilling that same year. Distilling is scheduled to begin in 2020. Originally only available in the state of Kentucky, the brand received its first national and global product launch in 2019.
