Bottled as part of Gordon & MacPhail's Recollection Series, this 1975 vintage Convalmore was filled into a Refill American Oak Hogshead, where it matured for 46 years before bottling at 47.8%. Only 138 bottles. 92pts Whiskybase
An extinct distillery, one known for its waxy distillate. Convalmore was shuttered for good in 1985 and sold to William Grant & Sons, who wanted the land as it abutted the properties of Glenfiddich and Balvenie.
700 ml Low StockAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: nutty, decadent, and toasty, with tangy fruits; almond brittle and beer nuts; mince meat pie, heavy on the orange peel, right out of the oven; Caramilk, cocoa nibs, and Big Turk; cinnamon French toast, and almond paste filled croissants dusted in brown sugar.
Palate: thick, sweet, and rich, with tangy fruits and chocolate treats; more beer nuts, almond brittle, and we'll add some dark chocolate macadamia nut cookies to the mix; Caramilk, Big Turk, and Cuban Lunch candy bars; more mince meat pie, still warm from the oven, baked in a buttery pie crust; grilled pineapple, poached pear with blue cheese, and baked apples on the fruit side of things; Demerara sugars and crips oak spices.
Finish: tangy fruits, candied nuts, firm oak spices, and chocolate candy bars galore; it gets better with every sip.
Comment: sublime stuff that doesn't disappoint; first Convalmore we've seen, let alone tasted in a couple of years!
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Orange sherbet and lemon peel give way to subtle notes of rhubarb. Rose petal aromas develop with lime bitters and mature oak.
Taste: Lemon drizzle cake flavours combine with orange oil and toasted almonds. Honeysuckle gives way to a soft herbal note and brown sugar.
Finish: Full and creamy finish with lingering citrus and vanilla pod.

Know anybody born in 1977? Because we have the perfect gift for them! This 44 year-old Glenlivet may seem expensive, but it is a fraction of the price of an 80-year-old. Distilled on the 12th of December, 1977 and matured in a Refill American Hogshead (Cask No. 22137) before being bottled in January 2022 at 45% ABV.

One of the lost Speyside triplets (alongside Glen Albyn and Millburn), Glen Mhor may be most recognized for being one of the component malts used to recreate the Mackinlay's Rare Old Highland Malt (you know... the Shackleton recreation from a few years back). It is a distillery that has never had the romantic draw that other lost gems like Brora, Port Ellen, or Rosebank have, but we are now 40 years past the last spirit run at Glen Mhor and the very little we ever see is now always extravantly priced and packaged. And a bottling such as this one is exactly the reason why. 93 points on Whiskyfun (one of only two or three sources we trust almost implicitly) should tell you all you need to know. With an endorsement like that, there should be a bloodbath for the few bottles we're getting. Refill Sherry Hogshead #72 yielded only 174 bottles.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 50.8%
