The St. Magdalene 1982 CA Closed Distilleries bottling is a 30-year-old single malt whisky, distilled in 1982 and bottled at a robust 55.4% ABV by Cadenhead's in October 2012. This rare expression comes from the esteemed St. Magdalene distillery, also known as Linlithgow, which was located in the Lowland region between Falkirk and Edinburgh. A historical gem, the distillery was founded in 1795 and sadly closed in 1983, making this whisky an incredibly sought-after collectible. With only 192 bottles drawn from a single butt, this whisky stands as a testament to the distillery's enduring legacy. The nose on this whisky is a wonder of refill wood, with freshness and original style preserved. Notes of clay, chalk, citrus, grapefruit, green tea, honeydew, tar liqueur, damp earth, humus, dead leaves, engine oil, and minerality can be detected. With water, it becomes even more mineral, with notes of Schweppes, clay, mud, damp hessian, limestone, and a hint of lemon. The palate is extraordinary, with a balance of fat and nervousness, immaculate and pristine, zesty, and extremely mineral. Lemon oil and petroly notes are present, reminiscent of a very good Riesling. This whisky is highly regarded and is considered to be a great example of the distillery's style. It is a must-try for any whisky connoisseur. Gorgeous old Lowland malt. The nose is fruity, warm, and full, with plenty of evidence of a well-aged whisky, all perfectly balanced. Fresh and fruity on the palate, with some lovely citrus in the background. Medium-long finish with some subtle spices lingering at the end. Seriously impressive stuff, and a great example of an old St. Magdalene. Why oh why did they shut this distillery?!
