Convalmore 1981-1997 | 16 Year Old First Cask 89/604/116Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Direct Wines Ltd 70cl 46% A rather tasty looking bottling of the sadly departed but great Convalmore distilled in 1981 and bottled 1997 at 16 years old and 46% for First Cask. This should be some delicious old style whisky with plenty of full bodied punchy character and fruitiness.
