Its Lowland single malts are now of serious interest to collectors as well as committed drammers – largely as a result of the impressive Diageo Rare Malt bottlings released in the 1990s. A 23-year-old 1970 vintage and a 19-year-old 1979 vintage St Magdalene single malt were released. In addition, in 2004 a 30-year-old malt was released under the Linlithgow label as part of Diageo’s annual Special Releases.
