St. Magdalene (silent) Hart Brothers Finest Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 31 Year Old · 1982 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany-tinged rim, a sunset-hued glow.

Nose

Silky and sherried, the nose blooms with dark plum, fig and cherry, lifted by orchard fruit brightness. Almond, honey and vanilla weave through caramel sweetness, while nutmeg and cinnamon provide warming spice. A subtle cocoa note and a whisper of oak give depth, all carried by the 53.5% elevation—poised, elegant, and quietly inviting the senses toward aged Lowland refinement.

Palate

Silky and generously full on the palate, this sherry-cask St. Magdalene unfurls a dark fruit core—plum, fig, raisin—paired with cocoa, toffee and orange zest. Spices—clove and cinnamon—rise over a ripe oak backbone, while the 53.5% ABV coats with warmth. The finish is long and luxuriant, with continued dried-fruit sweetness and a hint of leather.

Finish

Silky, long finish with velvet depth. Dark fig and cocoa mingle with hints of dried orange zest, while tobacco, leather and oak linger, warmed by sherry sweetness and a toasted-spice glow that slowly fades to refinement.
