Nose
Aromatic, oily, with very clean smoke. Palate
Begins with a good malt background. Distinctly oily. Again, lightly smoky. Finish
Light malt and a hint of honey and yet more oiliness. Hint of sulphur and clean peatiness, warming and long. Comment
Try it with a book at bedtime.

Nose
Shades of violets and cloves with a lightly honeyed maltiness. The oak is commendably restrained for its age, though a little bourbony. Palate
Big malt and honeycomb, lots of oak. That bourbon feel powers through with a toffee-treacle sweetness. Finish
Long and oily. The oak gives a deep, drying vanilla intensity and some liquorice and chicory. Comment
Convalmore was not the greatest malt when reasonably youthful. As a near 40 Years Old it has gained some tasty character, though most of it is of the bourbon variety.
Interested in whisky tasting, why not nose through our Nosing and Tasting booklet online. It is a great guide to get you started with nosing and tasting your whiskies.
