St. Magdalene (Linlithgow) 1981 Connoisseurs Choice
Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
St. Magdalene 1981, bottled in 1999 by Gordon & MacPhail for their celebrated Connoisseurs Choice series, is a rare and historically significant single malt from one of Scotland’s most revered closed Lowland distilleries.
Distilled in 1981 and matured patiently before bottling, this release captures the elegant, waxy and subtly complex character for which St. Magdalene is so highly regarded. Long ageing has softened and refined the spirit, revealing layers of citrus, gentle herbs and polished oak—an evocative glimpse into a lost era of Lowland whisky production.
A true collector’s dram, this Connoisseurs Choice bottling offers both provenance and poise, standing as a testament to Gordon & MacPhail’s long-standing role as custodians of Scotland’s whisky heritage.
