Discover and bid on unique, rare and collectible rums in our online auctions each month.
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 "+ £5.00" (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.
St Nicholas Abbey 10 Year Old
St Nicholas Abbey is a historic Jacobean plantation house in the Saint Peter parish of Barbados. Set within 225 acres of sugar cane, the estate has a history of distilling dating back to 1658. As a rum producer it was fully self-sufficient, however production ceased there after 1947. This remained the case until 2006 when Larry Warren, an architect specialising in historical preservation, purchased the distillery with the ambition of reopening it as a functioning distillery. Included in his blueprint was the restoration of the estate’s original steam-driven mill, made by Fletchers of Derby in 1890 and now the last of its kind working in the Caribbean. Various factors delayed the commencement of distilling at St Nicholas Abbey until 2010 however, and the distillery was kept in business after Richard Seale of Foursquare supplied Warren with a batch of casks that he bottled as 8,10,12 and 15-year olds. The first St Nicholas Abbey estate-distilled white rum was then launched at RumFest in 2012.
