NOTES FROM THE WB TEAM
The Manager’s Dram series dates back to the late 1980s, originating in 1987 when distillery managers from Scottish Malt Distillers (SMD) gathered for an internal tasting, each bringing a favourite cask from their distillery. The first official bottling was released in early 1988, with further casks selected annually, initially with multiple releases per year before settling into a single annual bottling. Each whisky was chosen by the distillery manager as a personal representation of their house style and bottled exclusively for staff of SMD and its successors, United Distillers and later Diageo. These releases were never available to the public and were sold to employees on condition they could not be resold while still employed. The series was eventually replaced by the Rare Malts Selection, which carried a similar small batch, cask strength philosophy to a broader audience.
