The Convalmore 1975 GM Refill American Hogshead is a single malt whisky from the now-closed Convalmore distillery, located in Dufftown, Speyside. This rare whisky, distilled in 1975, has been matured for an impressive 46 years in a refill American oak hogshead before being bottled by Gordon & Macphail at an ABV of 47.8%. Known for its fruity spirit with a waxy texture, Convalmore's output has often been compared to the legendary Clynelish. With only 138 bottles produced, this exceptional whisky presents a unique opportunity to savor a style that has become a part of Scotch whisky history. The nose is elegant and aromatic, with captivating notes of Turkish delight, lemon zest, candied orange peel, and rose petals. The palate is floral and smooth, enriched by flavors of lemon curd, orange rind, and toasted nuts. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving behind traces of citrus oils and Madagascan vanilla. This whisky stands as a testament to the quality and character of Convalmore's spirit, making it a fitting tribute to a distillery that played a significant role in the history of Scotch whisky.
