Convalmore, 32 Year Old, 2017 Special Release, 1984

Convalmore was opened in 1894, just outside Dufftown. It produced liquid mainly to go into blends. After fire broke out in the area of the tun room in 1909, Convalmore was promptly rebuilt. After the 1910 reopening, the distillery experimented with a patent still for a few years before reverting to traditional pot still methods, it being found that the patent spirit did not age well. Convalmore then produced steadily, save in wartime, until finally closing in 1985. The iconic distillery character paired with influence from American oak, leaves us with sweet and spicy with notes of fresh pastry, green fruit and citrus, with a brown sugary finish.
