✦ Neatly Summary

St Magdalene 1982 / Bot.2013 / Gordon & MacPhail Rare Old Lowland Whisky is a from St Magdalene (United Kingdom), bottled at 40% ABV. Expect fruity, sweet and oaky character — old wood, sherried, hay-like, nutty. An approachable dram, ideal for newcomers and casual sippers. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

St Magdalene's 1982 vintage, distilled the year before the Lowland distillery's closure and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 2013 after three decades of maturation at 46% ABV, captures a vanished Scottish whisky tradition. The extended maturation developed the distillery's naturally light and delicate character into something richer, with soft orchard fruit, honey, and cereal grain notes complemented by subtle wood influence. St Magdalene's post-closure status grants considerable historical weight to any bottling, particularly from independent bottlers preserving these spirits. This whisky suits those seeking a final connection to a lost Lowland distillery with authentic character and genuine rarity.
