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 1976 Single Cask #7818 / Geisha
Another excellent example of a Geisha label, this one was an exclusive for Taiwan.
A stunning vintage Karuizawa distilled in 1976 and bottled in 2010 from a single sherry butt #7818.
Bottle number 225 of 554.
Please note the condition of the box.
Very interestingly, this bottle appears to have an unusual labelling mistake as the front label states 750ml, while the back label states 0.7, and we are unaware of any 75cl bottles other than those which were US imports - of which we know this was not. However, the authenticity of this bottle we are sure of, as we can attest to its provinence; also, other known-genuine bottles from this bottling have same front/back label mismatch.
