St Magdalene was the last remaining distillery in the town of Linlithgow when it closed in 1983; the result of a downturn in the market leading to owners, DCL, finding themselves with an overabundance of stock. The distillery building itself has now been turned into flats (although its iconic pagoda roof remains) so it seems unlikely to make a comeback. As a result, examples of its Single Malt are becoming increasingly sought after.
A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye. As none of our staff is a professional conservator or restorer, buyers must satisfy themselves in respect of condition. The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
