INFORMATION
Glendullan 18 Year Old. The Manager's Dram. Bottled 1989. 75cl. 64%.
A 18 year old sherry cask whisky specially selected and bottled at natural strength for the S.M.D. staff association.
One of the earliest Manager's Drams and it kind of set the tone for the series, huge, intense and unusual in its take on the distillery character but a fascinating and endlessly entertaining dram in its own right. Well worth trying.

A large Speyside workhorse distillery in Diageo’s portfolio, Glendullan was founded in 1897 and expanded with the construction of a second distillery onsite in 1972. Both Glendullan distilleries were in operation until 1985, when the original Glendullan was closed.
Prior to Glendullan’s coronation as the US representative of The Singleton family in 2007, official bottlings were quite rare. Glendullan was bottled as a 12-year-old by DCL subsidiary Macdonald Greenless from the 1970s onwards, with both 43% and 47% versions in existence, but these were replaced by the 43% Flora & Fauna 12-year-old in 1991.
At auction, the 1970s vintage Glendullans bottled for the Rare Malts series are well worth checking out, as are the Glendullan Centenary bottling from 1998 and the famous sherried Glendullan 18-year-old Manager’s Dram released in 1989. Some superb 1960s vintage Glendullans have been independently bottled by Cadenhead’s and Douglas Laing.
