- Description
- Linlithgow (St Magdalene) distilled in 1982 and bottled by Murray McDavid at 51.4% ABV represents a rare mature expression from an 18th-century Lowland producer long since demolished. Initial bourbon maturation followed by cognac barrel finishing created a hugely complex profile unusual for Lowland whisky. The dual cask approach brings fruit-forward character alongside oak influence. A historical rarity suited to collectors documenting lost Scottish distilleries rather than everyday drinking.
