Douglas Laing St Magadalene 23 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
7 Interesting but a sweet note too far maybe but the finish gets a grip on itself and leaves a clean minty freshness. Recommended for sweet tooth.
Gordon & MacPhail St Magdalene 1975
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 Typically lowland, with a nice progression of sensation: sweet, malty then zingy.
Old Malt Cask St Magdalene, 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
5 If this was in a better cask it would have been a rather pleasant whisky.
Rare Malts St Magdalene 1998 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 63.80%
7 For a ghost, quite aggressive.
Rare Old St Magdalene 1982
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Livelier, fresher, less "difficult" flavours than in most bottlings.
