Dram Dracula scored this whisky 93 points

Extremely complex nose. Dark and brooding, with roasted chestnuts, maple walnuts, earthy peat, clay, Tie Guan Yin (Iron Buddha) tea, dried seaweed, salt water taffy. As far as the nose is concerned, I think it will be difficult to beat this St. Magdalene... sure, something super fruity and peaty can provide a challenge, but for this type of whisky, it has no match. If you've tried the Glen Ord 30yo OB, you would know what I mean, but this St Mag slays the Ord in every regard so far.
-
Superb balance for something more than 63% in ABV. Salty, old metals, oily with a touch of the industrial feel, stone fruits, crushed stones. Black tea.

No off-flavors at all... This whisky is balanced from start to finish. I look forward to drinking this bottle over the next year or two... I heard that it gets better and better the longer it's opened :)
