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.

Shizuoka 2018 Peated Single Bourbon Cask #214 / Shinanoya
Owned by Gaia Flow and founded by Taiko Nakamura, the Shizuoka distillery begin producing whisky in October 2016. The distillery is located on the banks of the Nakakouchi River in the Tamagawa District of Oku-Shizu close to Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji. The very modern looking building was designed by American Derek Buston who lives locally in the area. Perhaps the facilities main claim-to-fame is its small wash still which was once used at Japan’s legendary and much missed Karuizawa distillery. The first single malt was released in 2020 and was titled Prologue K.
This peated whisky was distilled in December 2018 and matured in single bourbon cask #214. It was bottled at cask strength in 2023 and made exclusive to Japanese spirit merchants, Shinanoya of Tokyo.
One of 202 bottles.
