The Convalmore 32 Year Old, distilled in 1984, was launched in the Fall of 2017 in the Special Release Series. It was bottled at 48.2% ABV at natural cask strength after aging in Hogsheads American oak casks. The Convalmore 32 year old presents itself with enormous depth and excellent balance.

After numerous sales and a fire, the whiskey distillery has long served as a warehouse for Glenfiddich.

Test Convalmore 32 years 1984 with 48.2% vol.
Even in the 0.7 liter bottle, the Speyside whiskey shines like 18-carat gold. When poured into the glass, it is thick and has a pleasant structure. A sweet, mild scent beguiles the nose with butter biscuits, delicate nutmeg and pudding. Almond oil and some oak are added. Gradually, the fruity aromas come to light. Tart apples, tangy pears and sweet melons are accompanied by orange peel, brown sugar and spice. The first sip of the Convalmore 32 year old inspires with a smooth fruity sweetness. Oak spiciness finds the perfect acid balance. With a little water, waxy notes and even more fruits not only appear in the fragrance. The taste also becomes even more intense and brings roasted aromas, charcoal and lots of spice. For a long time, the Convalmore remains 32 years old. It unmistakably shows its strong character, which it owes to its storage in American hogsheads and its old age. As an aperitif for a special moment, the Convalmore 32 year old is an excellent choice.
