DALWHINNIE 12 YEAR OLD MANAGER'S DRAM 2009 RELEASE

Single malt.

Dalwhinnie is the highest distillery in Scotland and, as such, it also boasts the lowest average temperature range. The obvious benefit of this is a lower “angel’s share” lost from casks in their warehouse, but it also keeps their external worm tubs cool, causing the spirit vapour from the stills to condense very quickly. Combine this with a distillation process which strives to minimise copper contact, and Dalwhinnie distillery produces a heavy, sulphury new make spirit that needs to mellow in refill wood for 15 years before its signature sweet, honied style fully emerges.

This rare expression was originally only available to Diageo staff members.

Bottle Number: 152

57.5% ABV / 70cl
