    This is a 36-year-old release from Diageo annual releases 2013. While the age of the whisky has changed from the previous release in 2005, the presentation is quite similar, going for the classic Convalmore packaging – very much a design classic and one that has informed a number of other distilleries work over the years. Releases of whisky from the distillery are particularly rare, with only a handful appearing in recent times and tasting notes for them few and far between. One of 2680 individually numbered bottles.

    Convalmore

    One of the great losses of the 1980s closures is Convalmore on the edge of Dufftown, near the famous names of Balvenie and Glenfiddich. For most of its life, starting in 1894, the distillery has been associated with the big names of the blending world. Initially, the Lowries before a certain James Buchanan (of Black & White fame) acquired the business as he expanded his empire. Today, Convalmore still stands but has been stripped out and is used by William Grant & Sons for warehousing. The name itself is retained by Diageo, who have until recently bottled the distillery as part of its Special Releases. The distillery was expanded a couple of times during its lifespan and famously also ran a column still for a short period in the 1910s. What remains are the whiskies themselves, which showcase a worthwhile single malt with many characteristics shared by the remaining Dufftown distilleries.
