Join an Auction

Next, it's time to choose a live auction that fits your schedule. Browse our upcoming auction list and sign up for events that suit your interests. Each auction features a variety of premium whiskies, including some older bottles of sought-after bourbon. Once registered for an auction, you’ll receive email reminders so you never miss a chance to bid on your favorite bottles. Our platform makes participating in our auctions an easy and exciting experience. Dive into the world of whisky auctions, where rare and unique bottles are just a bid away.

Placing Your Bid

Once you're in the auction and see something you like, it's time to place your bid. Simply select the lot you're interested in from our diverse catalog and navigate to its page, then enter your maximum bid in the designated box and hit confirm. Our system protects fairness by using incremental bidding, which means your bid only increases to the minimum amount needed to lead the auction, not jumping directly to your maximum.

For added integrity, we employ anti-sniping measures—any bids made in the last 15 minutes extend the auction by another 15 minutes, guaranteeing everyone has a fair chance to participate until no further bids are placed.

Payment Process

Once you've won a bid at Kerry Auctions, completing your purchase is straightforward and secure. Immediately after the auction closes, you will receive an email with detailed instructions on finalizing your transaction through your user account. Our secure online payment system keeps your transactions safe and private. During the checkout process, you'll choose your preferred delivery method for your whisky. Please note that our commission varies based on the final lot price, as detailed in our terms and conditions.

Collecting Your Order

Once your payment is successfully processed, you can arrange to pick up your whisky from our location. Due to the delicate nature of our items, Kerry Auctions currently does not offer direct shipping—you are welcome to appoint a third-party shipping service to handle the delivery. As we carefully package each item to protect it during pickup, Kerry Auctions is not liable for any loss or damage incurred—we are not liable for any loss or damage that may occur once items have left our premises. We recommend considering third-party insurance options for your peace of mind.
