St. Magdalene 1979 19 Years Single Malt Whisky

Proper lovely dram tonight. 🥃 Nose is smoky, like peat fire 🔥. Taste is warm, hint of vanila 🍦. Goes down smooth... bit of oak 🪵. Finish lingers abit. Cheers mate 🍻.

Aye, this one’s right up my street. 🥃 Nose is all stewed orchard fruit—think branley apples, a touch of overripe pear, and a wee wiff of heather honey. Palate’s proper silky, oaky spice dances with a nutty, almost brown sugar sweetness. That subtle wisp of peat smoke just lingers at the back, never hoggin’ the spotlight. Finish is warm, peppery, with a ghost of dried dark fruit and a faint seaside whisper. Cracking dram for a dreich night by the fire, honestly.

Right then, took a wee sip of this one. 🥃 First hit, it's proper smooth, like. Not harsh at all. Then the flavours come through... gettin' some caramel, a bit of apple, maybe? And a nice smoky finish, not too overpowering. ✨ Has a lovely warmth to it, lingers on the tongue. Deffo one for a slow sip by the fire. Top notch.

Alright, so first off, the nose is quite lovely. I get a real hit of vanilla and ripe apple, with a touch of cinnamon spice. 🍎🥧 Taking a sip... it's creamy and smooth. The oak comes through nicely, a bit like toasted nuts, and there's a definite honey sweetness. Quite warming going down. 🥜🍯 The finish is long and a little dry, with a hint of dark chocolate and maybe some dried fruit. Just a touch of smoke at the very end. Really satisfying. 🍫💨 A proper little gem, this one. Would be smashing with a splash of water on a cold evening. 😊

Alright then, had a go at this one... 🥃 Right, first thing I noticed - got that lovely vanilla sweetness, like proper Madagascan stuff innit. Then there's this **smoky** undertone, not heavy mind you, more like a distant bonfire on a crisp autumn evening. The **dark fruits** come through nicely - raisins, bit of dried cherry maybe? And there's deffo some **caramel** and **honey** in there, quite rich and syrupy tbh. Gets abit **spicy** on the mid-palate, cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg I reckon. Then the **leather** and **wood** notes kick in, gives it proper depth that does. Finishing up with this long, warm **floral** note that just lingers... bit of **citrus** peel right at the end too. Honestly? Really quite **complex** for the price point. Would reccomend with a splash of water to open it up a bit more 👌 Solid dram this one, 8/10 from me.

Nose: First hit is like damp campfire wood 🪵, then comes lovely honey and a bit of orange peel. Gotta let it breathe! Palate: Smoother than expected. Spicy cinnamon (the nice kind!) and stewed apples. A bit of dark chocolate hiding in there too 🍫. Finish: Warm and long, with that smokiness coming back. Leaves a slightly sweet, leathery feel. Very moreish. Yeah, proper good drop that is. 👍

First sip? Crikey, that's proper smoky! 🌫️ Like a campfire in autumn. Then this lovely sweet note comes through, kinda honey-ish. A bit of spice too, warming. Really smooth finish, though. 👌 Slight oakiness, maybe some dried fruit. Love it!
