Distilled in 1975 at the now-closed Convalmore distillery and aged for 46 years, this rare single malt is bottled at 47.8% ABV, preserving both its character and complexity without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"398\" data-end=\"701\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"398\" data-end=\"421\"\u003eProfile \u0026amp; Character\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"421\" data-end=\"424\"\u003eThis expression reflects the hallmark patience of long maturation: elegant, layered, and contemplative.
