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
Blue Spot 7 Year Old Cask Strength
Spot is a brand of Irish whiskey produced for Mitchell & Sons of Dublin by Irish Distillers at their New Midleton distillery. It is one of the only whiskies in Ireland produced specifically for and retailed by an independent merchant. Historically the brand was produced for the company by Jameson at their Bow Street distillery, until they were merged with Powers and Cork Distillers to form the Irish Distillers group in 1966. There are four core examples in the Spot range; Green Spot, Yellow Spot, Red Spot and Blue Spot with the special addition of a \"Gold Spot\".
Jameson has now reinvented the brand. The whiskey is from New Midleton distillery and is aged 7 years in a combination of bourbon, sherry and madeira casks before bottling at cask strength.
Midleton
A powerhouse Irish whiskey distillery located in the town after which it is named in Co. Cork. It was built in 1975 by Irish Distillers in order to centralise production of its brand portfolio and today is home to names like Jameson, Redbreast and Method & Madness.
