Linlithgow 1973 | 30 Year Old Special Releases 2004

Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 59.6%

A fantastic Linlithgow 1973 30-year-old Lowland single malt whisky from the distillery also known as St. Magdalene, and was bottled at cask strength by owners Diageo in 2004 for one of the early runs of the Special Releases.

After a previous trio of Rare Malts bottlings and a staff-only single cask edition, all bottled as St. Magdalene, this bottling was the fifth and, as of 2024, final official release from the Linlithgow / St. Magdalene distillery (which closed in 1983) and was the only official bottling ever labelled as Linlithgow.

This 2004 Special Releases Linlithgow 1973 30-year-old was an edition of just 1500 bottles, and like the previous official bottlings it's a magnificent dram - a full-on fruit bomb at its mighty cask strength of 59.6%, bursting with orchard and exotic fruits on a bed of sturdy, spicy oak. A masterpiece.
