Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery-russet edges and a warm mahogany-gold glow.
Nose
Delicate sherry-fruited aroma with ripe pear and apple notes, entwined with dried fig and raisin. Vanilla, toffee and almond sweetness mingle with subtle oak and polished malt, yielding an elegant, creamy bouquet that hints at age and refinement.
Palate
Silky on the palate, this 23-year-old Convalmore unfurls a sherried, fruit-forward poise: dried fig and raisin mingle with cacao and toffee, under polished oak. Warm spices—cinnamon and clove—drive a creamy vanilla core, with hints of almond and walnut. The finish is long and refined, gently sweet, leaving a soft oak glow.
Finish
Long, velvety finish with dark cherry and fig, lifted by sherry spice and cocoa. A subtle almond note anchors the sweetness as it tapers to a refined, dry warmth, slowly fading into a lingering, contemplative afterglow.
