Description

One of Scotland's most iconic and long-running independent bottling brands, Connoisseurs Choice was introduced by Gordon & MacPhail in the 1970s. This particular release is a St. Magdalene 1981, distilled two years before the distillery's closure in 1983. St. Magdalene, also known as Linlithgow, was a Lowland distillery that has since been converted into residential buildings. This single malt was bottled in 1999 by Gordon & MacPhail for their Connoisseurs Choice range.
