St. Magdalene 19 Rare Malts Series

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 63.8%

Score: 97 Points

The distillery laid down this malt in 1979…just a few short years before it closed. Somewhere, someone is still kicking himself for making that decision. The nose is full of spices, with notes of cloves, allspice, and a hint of cinnamon. The taste starts off with a kick of cinnamon, then fades to reveal honey, clove, and a hint of citrus. That citrusy touch carries through to the finish, which is long and warming. A true classic!
