St. Magdalene (Linlithgow) 31 Year Old 1982 Hart Brothers
Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
Distilled in September 1982, just months before Linlithgow’s historic columns fell silent for good, the spirit slept peacefully in a carefully selected refill American-oak hogshead until Hart Brothers bottled it—at natural cask strength—in October 2013. Non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, this limited release captures St Magdalene’s elegant, triple-distilled style delicately laced with vanilla cream, citrus blossom and polished oak spice.
