Description
A 25 year old St Magdalene whisky. Bottled by Gordon & Macphail, as part of their Connoisseurs Choice series. Distilled in 1965 before being bottled in 1990. St Magdalene distillery was closed in 1983 and partly demolished.
Colour: straw.
Nose:
A metallic and herbal profile. Metallic noses can be awful but that isn’t the case at all here. There’s also a little lemon liqueur, lemongrass, some coffee, parsley, quite some chervil. In short, a very ‘different’ nose but St Magdalene used to be a different malt.
Taste:
Some tar, heavy liquorice, pine resin, mint… It’s really like some old-style cough syrup. Tar liqueur.
Finish:
Long, rich, extremely sooty, even ashy.
As with all our older bottles, there may be some slight damage to the labels / box. Please see the pictures.
