St. Magdalene (silent) Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 19 Year Old · 1979 Vintage
Out of stock
A superb and sought after bottling of St Magdalene from Diageo's Rare Malts series. Single malt bottlings from this distillery were extremely rare during the distillery's lifetime. The posthumous Rare Malts bottlings established the reputation of this Lowlander as one of the great lost distilleries of Scotland. A big, malty, oily single malt that bursts with citrus fruits, oriental tea, aromatic woods, vanilla custard, honey, and old leather. An extremely rare, astonishingly complex masterpiece.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery sheen and burnished mahogany undertones, a luxurious, sun-kissed robe that hints at sherry richness.
Nose
An expansive, oily nose bursting with citrus zest and honey, layered with oriential tea and aromatic woods. Vanilla custard folds through the malt, with a whisper of old leather; a rich, complex bouquet that speaks of a rare St. Magdalene from a lost era.
Palate
On the palate, a big, malty, oily mouthfeel coats the tongue. It bursts with citrus—orange and mandarin—alongside oriental tea and aromatic woods. Vanilla custard and honey provide creamy sweetness, while a note of old leather adds depth. The finish is long, with refined spice and well-integrated oak.
Finish
Extremely long, oily finish coats the palate with bright citrus zest, honey and vanilla custard, accompanied by oriental tea and aromatic woods. Leather folds in as spice and oak linger, leaving a warm, refined glow that persists with understated elegance.
