clynelish 17 year old - managers dram 1998

1 bottle Clynelish 17 Year Old. Manager's Dram. Bottled 1998. No box. 70cl. 61.8%. Level in neck. Good condition.

This bottle is part of a remarkable set of Manager’s Drams in this month’s auction, with a nearly complete run of bottlings from 1988-2014 (missing Benrinnes 1988, Oban 1990 & Linkwood 1999) which was collected by the vendor in the course of a long career at United Distillers/Diageo.

The casks for the Manager’s Dram bottlings were selected from legendary tasting sessions where the managers of each of UD/Diageo’s distilleries would all bring a sample of their favourite cask from their distillery to decide which was the best.

These bottles have long been highly collectable, particularly as they are only ever available to Diageo employees and have never been put on general sale.

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, we do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen and described.

Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.

All bottles are checked by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.

No item is deemed new, however many items are generally in good condition. When this is not the case, we aim to mention any faults in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be found here.

All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly. Placing a bid confirms you have checked the Lot and are satisfied.
