Smakade den ombord på Cinderella. Fantastiskt bra. Kurre kom och la en i min korg. "Du måste köpa en sån här också!" Min poäng: 91 p

Linlithgow 30 yo 1973/2004 (59.6%, OB, 1500 bottles)
In case you’re a novice (but do novices read WF?) Linlithgow and St. Magdalene are the same distillery. This old official version came from refill American oak casks. Colour: pale amber. Nose: a bold, jammy attack on the nose, mostly on citrons and lemons, the malt getting then even fruitier, maybe more in classic Lowland style than other St. Magdalenes. Still there are fine notes of linseed oil, maybe olive oil, ashes… There’s also an excellent spiciness (hints of cloves and nutmeg). Much more drinkable ‘just like that’ than expected. Mouth: more or less in the same vein as on the nose, with lemon marmalade and a beautiful oakiness (perfect ‘oaky balance’ here at 30yo). Long, rather dry finish, quite sensual I must say. More than other versions in any case.
Love it, 92 points. A regal Lowland malt, this complex natural cask-strength Linlithgow makes an astounding aperitif. Fruity nose. Light body. Fresh fruit, engaging medicinal development. Dries to a ghost of finish.
