Taken from three American Oak hogsheads filled on Thursday 22nd November 1984, a matter of months before the distillery closed forever. A fine farewell, very little of the malt remains, which harnesses the golden, smooth character and rich fruitiness of Convalmore. The Prima & Ultima 2nd Release has been personally hand-selected by Master of Malts Maureen Robinson; "This exceptionally sunny Convalmore was made just at the time when I was mastering the art of nosing. As a Speyside, it was one of many; judged by taste, it stood alone. A total eclipse of the sun occurred on the very day these casks were filled. Savour this fine farewell to a fast disappearing malt"

The texture is thick and creamy-smooth, while the vibrant taste skillfully balances sweet hints of mandarin orange with a peppery, oaky dryness.

The finish oozes rich, sweet warmth with light spice, and traces of coconut in the aftertaste.
