Convalmore 1975–2015 Speyside Single Grain | Gordon & Macphail Rare Old Series

Description

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 46%

An outstanding single cask Convalmore 1975 Speyside single malt whisky bottled as a 39-year-old or 40-year-old in 2015 by Gordon & MacPhail for their Rare Old series.

There is hardly any Convalmore left now – there have been barely a dozen bottlings since 2015 and it’s quite possible that G&M have more than Diageo. Someday soon the last Convalmore will be gone, which is such a shame as it is superb, almost unique whisky.

This 40-ish year-old Convalmore from G&M is yet another quiet masterpiece in the fabulous, historically important Rare Old series. Bottled from a refill sherry hogshead, which yielded 299 bottles at a punchy, un chill-filtered 46%.

Waxy, fruity and oily, this Convalmore 1975 is another elegant reminder of the lost Highland/Speyside style, bursting with character and complexity. A real gem of a dram from a distillery that never got the credit it deserved in its lifetime and has sadly remained in obscurity in the decades since its untimely demise.
