Gordon & MacPhail

Convalmore 39 Years Old 1984

ABV: 51.1% 70 cL

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.


This single malt was distilled on 4th October 1984 and aged in refill Sherry hogshead before bottling on the 19th June 2024. It was bottled at 51.1% ABV, at natural, dark mahogany colour and without chill filtration.


Only 108 bottles produced.

Nose

Rich treacle toffee aromas combine with cinnamon spice and subtle beewax polish. Stewed raisin comes to the fore alongside soft and sweet butterscotch.

Palate

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.
