What drives this bottle's value

  • Closed / ghost distillery

    Convalmore closed in 1985, so its surviving bottlings are finite.

  • Single vintage

    Distilled in a single year (1981), so the available batch is inherently finite.

These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
