PROFILE

A limited edition, natural cask strength single malt whisky from the closed Convalmore Distillery in Dufftown, Speyside. This is a fourth release of Convalmore in this series from the original distiller's stocks. An interesting to contrast with the 36yo from European Oak released in 2013, this edition is from refill American Oak hogsheads filled in 1984.

 

 

Designed by local man Donald Mackay, the distillery took its name from the Conval Hills. Production began in 1894 just outside Dufftown, near the River Fiddich at the heart of Speyside. Founder, Peter Dawson, took as motif for his well-known brand Dawson's Perfection the bluebell,symbolic flower of Scotland and a common springtime sight on Speyside.His distillery enjoyed good railway links and its whisky was always in demand by Glasgow merchants, including James Buchanan, who took over in 1906. However, fire broke out in the area of the tunroom on 29 October 1909. Convalmore was rebuilt,

to produce steadily save in wartime until finally falling silent in 1985.
 
 
TASTING NOTES

A rare and unusual old whisky, subtle in style yet possessing considerable hidden depths,

that shows fantastic balance and poise as fruit rolls into spice, then into sweet herbal notes and
back again, its characterful spirit clearly aided by excellent cask influence. Makes a luxurious aperitif.
