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 "+ £5.00" (reflecting a £5.00 increment).

Bottle Details
This is the earliest version of the Angostura 1824, the brand's flagship 12-year-old expression which takes it name from the year that Dr. Siegert created Angostura bitters.
Introduced in 2000, it was bottled in this style until a redesign of the bottle and label in 2011.
Angostura '1824' 12 Year Old
The Angostura brand was originally concocted by Dr. Johann Siegert in 1875, in the Venezuelan town of the same name. Following his death, his sons took the product to Trinidad in 1875 and produced it for many years using rum bought in from local distilleries. This changed in 1947 when the company invested in the growing rum market by opening their own distillery, Trinidad Distillers. The distillery’s original set up was a single Savalle column still, however this was replaced with a five-column still in 1975, following investment from Bacardi who required more bulk rum. Two more of these multi-column stills were added in 1985 and 1999. Today it is one of the largest rum distilleries in the Caribbean, producing around 8.5 million litres per year.
The \"1824\" is a 12 year old blend.
