- Description
- St Magdalene's 1981 vintage—from the now-closed Linlithgow distillery—was bottled by Gordon & Macphail in 1999 and stands as a historical snapshot of a shuttered Scottish distillery. Aged 18 years before bottling at 40% ABV, this Lowland expression offers a rare window into pre-closure character. A collector's piece for those interested in Scottish distillery history and the profile of 1980s Lowland production.
