St. Magdalene Rare Malt-1970-23 year old
Rare Malts Selection. Distilled at St. Magdalene Distillery, Linlithgow
Good labelling with minor staining. Level: high shoulder.
"...Mouth: you can see why so many good whisky folk were transfixed by this whisky over the years. It is indeed a style of its own. Mechanical, yet also organic and close to its base materials. Petrolic, flinty, mineral and yet with these very subtle honeyed and glazed fruit notes. Has the fatness of an oil slick in the mouth. With water: wider and slightly easier and more generous. Picks up all these tiny wee candied fruit peel notes, along with waxes, putty, lemon infused olive oil, eucalyptus and lanolin. What I find amazing is that despite all these various tertiary tangents, it never looses sight of its raw materials. There's always this natural malty richness underpinning everything." (5 Stars-Whiskyfun)
