Convalmore distillery is a inactive Speyside single malt Scotch whisky in Dufftown, Moray, Scotland.[1]
The distillery was established in 1893/1894 and closed in 1985.[1][2][3]
History
[edit]The distillery was founded by Convalmore-Glenlivet Distillers Co. Ltd and in 1904 was sold to W&P Lowrie & Co. Ltd. In 1925, the distillery passed to Scottish Malt Distillers and The Distillers Company Ltd.[1]
The site of the distillery is now owned by William Grant & Sons and is part of the greater Glenfiddich distillery and Balvenie distillery site. It was acquired by WG & Sons in 1992 to augment their warehouse capacity.[4] The market rights to the name and bottling remain with Diageo.
The name of the distillery derives from the nearby Conval hills which are located just north of Dufftown.[5]
