November 2020 Auction

<p>Released for discussion by the Ardbeg Committee.</p><p>Released in June 2011, Ardbeg Alligator takes its name from the aggressive charring of the American casks the whisky was matured in.  This charring level is known as the Alligator char because the cracking of the wood under the heat looks similar to the skin of an Alligator.</p>

How is the Excise Fee calculated?

In compliance with EU Directive 2020/262, an excise charge will be applied to all EU Lots (per bottle) for clients based within the EU. This is a legally required charge for alcohol shipments from our Netherlands operations.

If your items are being shipped, this will be calculated during the checkout process. The amount is calculated based on the bottle's size, ABV (alcohol content) and the duty rate of the destination country. It ensures your purchase is fully compliant with local regulations.

To find the duty rate for alcohol in your country, you can consult the Taxes in Europe Database (TEDB) provided by the European Commission

What fees are involved for buying whisky?

You can find all the details about the fees involved in buying wine at auction on our Buyer Fees and Payment Terms page.

What is incremental bidding and how does it work?

We use a structured bidding system to ensure a fair and smooth auction process.

Whether you set a maximum bid or manually place a single bid, the system will automatically increase your bid according to the following increments outlined in the table below.

What time do auctions end?

Our monthly auctions end from 7:00 PM (UK local time) on the closing date. If a bid is placed after 7:00 PM on any lot, the entire auction will be extended by an additional two minutes.

The auction will end once all bidding has ceased for two minutes. Based on previous auction activity, the auction will continue for several hours and is most likely to finish between 9pm - 11pm (UK local time).
