The whiskies offer a rare opportunity to enjoy lost masterpieces, bringing to life the spirit of a bygone era, as does the art of Emmy-winning illustrator Bruno Mangyoku, which adorns the labels and boxes of the six bottlings.
The buildings of the Convalmore Distillery are still standing, but without any production facilities. Single malts from one of the famous seven distilleries in Dufftown in the heart of Speyside were rarely bottled. It has been mothballed since 1985. Shortly before that, a piece of liquid history was distilled with the Convalmore 1984/2024.
This also applies to the North Port Brechin 1981/2024 from the distillery that was closed in 1983 and demolished in 1994. Founded as Brechin Distillery and later renamed North Port, it was located on the Scottish east coast and distilled a single malt that was, according to whisky author Michael Jackson, "dry and fruity".
Glenlochy was founded in 1898 on the new West Highland Railway and was therefore well positioned to transport whisky to Glasgow. The majority was intended for blends. Single malts such as Glenlochy 1979/2024 were and are therefore very rarely on the market. The distillery was closed in 1983 and converted into a hotel.
