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
Lagavulin 16 Year Old White Horse 1 Litre
A bottling of Ron Swanson and Jonny Depp's favourite, Lagavulin 16.
This bottle is especially rare, from the White Horse era. This suggest it may have been an earlier bottling circa late 1980's/ early 1990's.
White Horse Distillers
White Horse Distillers is a former subsidiary of drinks giant, Diageo. The company was established in 1924 following the death of Sir Peter Mackie and reorganisation of his blending company, Mackie & Co. In renaming itself, White Horse Distillers became one of the few Scotch whisky companies to be named after one of its brands.
White Horse Distillers was amalgamated with the Distillers Company Limited in 1927. DCL and its successors, United Distillers and Diageo operated it as a subsidiary for the remainder of the 20th century before the latter dissolved the company in 2010. Although chiefly known for its blends, the company has historic connections to various single malt distilleries, including Lagavulin, Glen Elgin and the mythical Malt Mill.
