St. Magdalene (silent) Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 23 Year Old · 1970 Vintage

Colour

Deep mahogany amber with coppery highlights.

Nose

Powerful sherried bouquet: dark raisin and prune mingle with orange zest, fig and cocoa. Rich toasted oak, vanilla and caramel weave through nutty notes, with a kiss of spice—clove and allspice. A whisper of tobacco and leather adds old-world depth, while a warm, generous spirit lends a lifting glow to slow, lingering nosing.

Palate

Opulent and sherried, this 23-year-old St. Magdalene lingers with dark plum, fig and raisin, balanced by cocoa, espresso, and a hint of burnt orange zest. Spices rise—cinnamon, clove, white pepper—alongside polished oak and a whisper of leather. The finish is long, warming and resinous, with dried fruit and cocoa echoing into a refined, lingering smoke.

Finish

An exceptionally long finish where dark plum and fig deepen into cocoa nibs and toasted almond, threaded with warm spice and sherry sweetness, and finally a bright note of orange zest that lingers alongside polished oak.
