- Description
- Convalmore closed its doors decades ago, making this 1981-distilled single cask from the lost distillery a piece of Scotch whisky history, aged 16 years in wood. Without tasting notes on file, the age and era suggest a more delicate, woody character than modern distillery expressions, shaped by the distillery's unpeated house style and the cask's influence over three decades. A rare opportunity to experience a defunct Highland producer on its own terms. Reserve for collectors and those with curiosity about pre-closure Speyside character.
