St Magdalene 1982 40 Year Old Recollection Series

St Magdalene was a Lowland single malt distillery in Linlithgow, near Edinburgh, tracing its roots back to at least 1798. Renowned for a distinctive, subtly oily and grassy character with a faint wisp of smoke, it fell victim to the industry downturn of the 1980s and closed for good in 1983 — one of more than twenty distilleries lost that decade. Whisky from St Magdalene is now exceptionally rare and increasingly sought after by collectors of Scotland’s lost distilleries.
