Description

This is a rare and highly collectible release from the now-defunct St. Magdalene distillery in Linlithgow, a Lowland single malt Scotch whisky. Distilled in 1975 and bottled in 2007 by Gordon & MacPhail as part of their 'Rare Old' series, it was matured for 32 years in refill sherry hogsheads. St. Magdalene was a historic distillery founded in the 18th century and closed in 1983, making its bottlings highly sought after.
