There are interesting rumours that whisky giant Diageo will soon announce a new series of exclusive bottlings named The Manager’s Choice Single Cask Selection. They’ve selected one single cask from each of the 27 distilleries in their portfolio and the first six will be released in October 2009. A new Rare Malts series is born.
I’m not sure which distilleries will be in the first batch, but the picture shows Oban, Teaninich and Mortlach.
Also, as part of their yearly special releases, there will be a Port Ellen 30yo and probably a new Brora 30yo this year.
Update: it’s not simply a rumour. Check this website and this movie clip
Update 2: here are some prices (are they out of their mind?)
