Taste
CLEMENTINE intertwines with stewed FOREST FRUIT and toasted HAZELNUT. DEMERARA SUGAR develops, accompanied by subtle COFFEE BEAN and a hint of dried BANANA.
Finish
A full finish with BLACK PEPPER and GRAPEFRUIT ZEST.
Convalmore
Opened as the fourth of Dufftown’s famed seven stills in the heart of Speyside in 1894, Convalmore’s waxy, fruity spirit has very rarely been seen as a single malt whisky. Dedicated almost entirely to blended whiskies, production was interrupted in 1909 by a fire. The distillery expanded in 1964 but was mothballed in 1985. The original buildings are still on the site but the production equipment has been removed. This 39 year old single malt, matured in a bespoke Gordon & MacPhail cask, is a forgotten masterpiece; a lost work of art that revives the spirit of a bygone era.
