Convalmore 1977 Cask Strength 36 Year Old Single Malt 750ml US Import

The second bottling of Convalmore within Diageo’s annualSpecial Release series, this one is from 2013.

Convalmore was the fourth of the “Seven Stills” of Dufftown, built in the late 19th century and later acquired by the blender, James Buchanan. After the merger of Buchanan’s with DCL (now Diageo) in 1925, Convalmore continued to supply blends, and as a result, was never officially bottled as a single malt in its own time. The distillery was shut down in 1985, and while there have been occasional Diageo special releases over the years, its single malt output is mostly limited to some very sought-after independent bottlings.

This whisky was distilled in 1977 and laid to rest for 36 years before being bottled 2013. One of 2,680 bottles.
