Experience a rare piece of whisky history with this exceptional 29-year-old single malt from the legendary St. Magdalene distillery. Distilled in 1982 and bottled in 2011 by The Old Malt Cask company, this limited edition release comprises just 288 bottles drawn from a single cask. Each bottle represents a fleeting opportunity to savour the unique character of this lost distillery, showcasing nearly three decades of careful maturation and the distinctive Lowland style that St. Magdalene was renowned for.
This release is particularly significant given the closure of St. Magdalene distillery in 1983, making it one of the most sought-after names among whisky enthusiasts and collectors. The Old Malt Cask company, known for their discerning selection of exceptional casks, has preserved a moment in time with this bottling, offering a glimpse into the craftsmanship and heritage of a distillery that now exists only in memory and the dwindling stocks of its remaining whisky.
St. Magdalene, also known as Linlithgow after its hometown, was one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, with a history dating back to the late 18th century. Located in the Lowlands region, it was known for producing a light, floral style of whisky that was highly prized by blenders. The distillery's closure in 1983 was part of a wider industry downturn, making its whisky increasingly rare and valued. Today, releases like this 29-year-old expression serve not only as exceptional drams but as liquid archives of Scotland's rich distilling heritage.
