- Description
- Distilled in 1982 at the now-closed St. Magdalene distillery, this 26-year-old Lowland malt spent its maturation in a single refill butt before Douglas Laing bottled just 511 examples in 2008. Delicate cereal and orchard fruit notes are accented by gentle spice and a subtle waxy texture characteristic of the region. Time has softened the spirit into something elegant and refined, with a dry, herbal finish. A poignant snapshot of a lost Scottish distillery.
