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 Honor Sumo Collection / 1981 / 1982 / 1983
We are very excited to offer this bottle within our exclusive Karuizawa auction which runs from Wednesday 5th April to Monday 17th April.
Karuizawa produced outstanding whiskies, many of which have received international acclaim. They have released almost 300 single casks which are becoming increasingly rarer and rarer as demand soars.
Three bottles dedicated to the martial art of Sumo. Three single Sherry Butt’s from 1981 (#818), 1982 (#4971), and 1983 (#3408) with labels displaying Sumo-related prints by Ukiyo-e artist Hachisuka Kuniaki.
Bottled in 2013 at cask strength, all three bottles are numbered as 141. Only 320 of each vintage were produced.
This lot contains an attractive black gloss display, with matching artwork.
Please note there will be a shipping charge for 4 bottles associated with this lot due to the added size and weight of the humidity-controlled box.
