The St. Magdalene 1979 Rare Malts Selection is a remarkable 19-year-old single malt Scotch whisky. This limited edition was distilled in 1979 at the now-silent St. Magdalene distillery in Lowland, Scotland. After maturation, it was bottled in October 1998 as part of the acclaimed Rare Malts Selection series.
This series, initiated by Diageo between 1995 and 2005, offered whisky enthusiasts access to distinct and highly sought-after expressions from both operational and lost distilleries. The St. Magdalene 1979 showcases the craftsmanship and legacy of the St. Magdalene distillery, which unfortunately ceased operations in 1983.
Remarkably, this whisky was bottled at a cask strength of 63.8%, a substantial ABV characteristic of the Rare Malts Selection, allowing connoisseurs to appreciate the full-bodied flavours and complexity of the spirit. It is important to note that this expression from St. Magdalene was matured using traditional direct-fired stills, accentuating its unique character.
Each bottle of the St. Magdalene 1979 Rare Malts Selection is numbered individually, making it a highly collectable item for whisky investors and enthusiasts worldwide. It stands as a testament to the distillery's notable heritage and an enduring piece of whisky history.
