This unique bottling is a blend of Cognacs coming from ten demijohns dated from 1853-1906. So all of the Cognacs in the blend are more than 100 years old and almost the entire blend comes from the 19th century—making it considerably older (and finer) than the most famous, big brand prestige cuvées like Louis XIII or Richard Hennessy. Complex is an understatement. The nose is so uniquely developed, with extreme rancio aromas, roasted nuts, a myriad of dried and cooked fruit notes, vanilla and chocolate desserts - simply incredible. The ensuing palate is powerful, showing great concentration, a smooth, velvet texture and an incredible vitality considering its age. Complex flavours confirming the nose, with notes of dried orange peels, some woody notes and spice. An incredible tasting experience and unlike any other.

The Balvenie Cask Finishes is a unique range of single malts created by David C. Stewart MBE, The Balvenie Malt Master. Cask Finishes gains its distinctive character from maturation in two distinct cask types in succession, a proprietary process pioneered by David in 1983 with The Balvenie Classic. For The Balvenie Thirty, he marries Traditional and European oak casks that have been matured for decades in order to craft a whisky of incredible sweetness and complexity. The Balvenie Thirty’s silky sweetness gives way to rich honey, mellow oaky tones and hints of candied orange peel. Smooth and honeyed on the nose with mellow oaky tones and hints of candied orange peel, great depth with rich dark chocolate, hints of plum, marzipan and caramelised pear and an exceptionally smooth and warming finish with gentle spice and lingering sweetness.

A Premier Cru by classification; a Grand Cru by breed. Clos Saint Jacques has long been a contentious site. For many it is superior to all Grands Crus in Gevrey but for the regal duo of Chambertin and Clos de Bèze and even then, it is often their equal. Sturt. Forceful. Ferrous. Among the very greatest expressions of this regal commune, Jasper Morris MW refers to the Clos as the ‘crown prince’, as it slopes steeply to an ideal southern and easterly exposure. Rousseau’s, by far the finest articulation.

Convalmore takes its name from the Conval Hills to the west of the distillery, this is where it gets its water supply from. The distillery was established in 1893 by Convalmore - Glenlivet Distillery Company and production began in February of 1894. Ten years later the distillery went into liquidation and it was then sold to W P Lowrie & Company. After facing financial troubles in 1906 Lowrie sold the distillery to James Buchanan, their best customer. DCL took over the distillery in 1930, and in 1985 it was mothballed. Wm Grant & Sons purchased the site for its warehouse space. Convalmore has only been bottled as a single malt by independent bottlers.

It incorporated a white tower – a classic German Brauhaus design – that was reinterpreted by Charles Doig in 1899. The site was then bought by Joseph Hobbs (who owned Ben Nevis distillery) and he set about installing a Coffey still, swiftly followed by four pot stills in 1961. His son, Joe Junior, retained ownership until 1973 when Spanish distiller Destilerias y Crianzas [DyC] bought it as a source for some of the malt it used in its top-selling DYC blend. The Coffey still was decommissioned and the distillery ran until the early 1990s when DYC [by then part of Sherry and wine firm Pedro Domecq] was itself taken over by Allied Distillers. Lochside was considered surplus to requirements by its new parent, it was closed and sold to developers before being demolished in 2005.
