Dalwhinnie – 13 Year Old - Manager's Dram 2023 is a single malt whisky from Dalwhinnie (Highland). Aged 13 years, bottled at 53.6% ABV, 70cl. Another distillery that creates a heavy sulphury new make. Dalwhinnie Distillery dates back to 1897 when Alexander Mackenzie, John Grant and George Sellar began work on the Strathspey Distillery which, after less than a year, was renamed Dalwhinnie when John Somerville and AP Blyth and Sons bought the site. Throughout the years, Dalwhinnie was faced with some problems such as fires forcing the distillery to close and the maltings being mothballed. However, Dalwhinnie has since seen a thorough refurbishment as well as the visitor centre opening in 1991. In 1998 Dalwhinnie 15 was selected to be part of the Classic Malts selection. This 13-year-old Dalwhinnie is from the highly collectable Manager's Dram series of single malt releases. The bottles were released to be available exclusively to employees of what is now known as Diageo. Each release was selected by distillery managers within Diageo and bottled at natural cask strength. It was bottled at the natural cask strength of 53.6%.
