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
This is the 2015 and first release in the highly acclaimed Arran Smugglers' Series. The collection was a nod to the shady history of Arran's illicit distilling back during the 18th and 19th centuries when the island was a producer of black market whisky. Presented in a book style package to hide the goods.
The whisky itself represents the type of dram the illicit producers would create. It is a mixture of port pipes and sherry hogsheads containing non-peated spirit and oak barrels containing peated spirit.
Arran Smugglers' Series Volume 1 75cl / The Illicit Stills US Import
A very cool nod to the shady history of Arran's distilling. Back during the 18th and 19th century the island was a producer of illicit whisky. Presented in a book style package to hide the goods.
The whisky itself represents the type of dram the illict producers would create. It is a mixture of Port Pipes and Sherry Hogsheads containing unpeated spirit and oak barrells containing peated spirit. An all-together heavier style dram than what is produced today.
This is the first edition of the trilogy, released in 2015. One of only 8,700 bottles.
