The Convalmore 1984 Speyside single malt whisky is a special release from the historic, now-closed distillery, bottled in 2017 after an impressive 32 years of aging in refill American oak hogsheads. Distilled in 1984, just a year before the distillery ceased operations, this expression is part of Diageo's exclusive special release lineup for 2017. With only 3972 bottles produced, this cask-strength whisky (48.2% ABV) is a rare and highly sought-after treasure for whisky enthusiasts and collectors alike.
This whisky presents a subtle, sweet, and spicy profile, with predominant notes of buttery pastry cases, green fruits, and a hint of citrus, followed by an intense brown sugar sweetness and spice. The mellow nose reveals a complex, sweet-spicy malt with delightful balance and texture, making it a characterful and well-balanced example of Convalmore's unique style.
Convalmore Distillery, located just outside Dufftown, was established in 1894. It was later sold to W&P Lowrie & Co in 1904, which eventually entered into a partnership with James Buchanan in 1906. The distillery was permanently closed in 1985, making this whisky a piece of history from a bygone era.
