Convalmore 14yo 1983-1997 43% Signatory Vintage cask# 1639 btl.1530/2460
Convalmore are another distillery now probably out of function for good, and therefor its whisky are reaching abnormally high prices in comparison to its usual quality. It has some nice odors, very fresh and herbal, reminds me somewhat of Balblair. The taste is all what I didn't expect, soft, honey, marmelade, sweet berries, soft fruits and syrup. A sweet, light whisky. Like some Highland Parks of older days. I know many would say, hey, this is not a man's whisky, aarrr (accompanied by sound of hands beating thorax areas). On the other hand, I find it a rare delight, a real dessert treasure.
A sweet escapade: 8
Convalmore 12yo 1969-1981 40% CC G&M
Convalmore is strong, very strong indeed, it litterally burns the nostrils. It tastes like some cough mixture, burnt astute and camphorcandy. Very special this one, works as a dessert malt after a good meal, but alone?
Hard to truly enjoy: 5
