Gordon & MacPhail St Magdalene 1975

This item is archived.

This Lowland Distillery took its name from St Magdalene's Cross, once the site of a mediaeval fair and leper colony. The Union Canal which ran behind the distillery supplied the cooling water and served the distillery logistically. The distillery was closed in 1983 and the site redeveloped! The nose is very fruity, with a strong European Oak character; it is also somewhat herbaceous and oily with a touch of dark chocolate. 89pts Jim Murray
