St. Magdalane aka Linlithgow Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Lowland Scotch Whisky 1798 - 1983
The distillery was founded around 1765 by Sebastain Henderson in cenral Linlithgow, using water from Loch Lomond. The last owners were DCL and the site is now a residential area.
The St. Magdalane Distillery stood on an historic site. In the 12th century a hospital was established by the Knights Templar to treat lepers. This was replaced at some point by the St. Magdalane convent.
The first distillery in Linlithgow was Bulzon established in 1750, this was followed shortly after by Bonnytoun, founded by Andrew Dawson, one of the first recorded licensed distillers.
Sebastian henderson obtained land adjacent to the Bonnytoun distillery and built the St. Magdalene distillery around 1765. At one point the village of Linlithgow had five licensed distilleries.
In 1798 Andrew Dawson purchased the St. Magdalene distillery from Sebastian Henderson. Because St. Magdalene was the best distillery he switched output from Bonnytoun to St. Magdalene, eventually absorbing Bonnytoun with St. Magdalene as one large site.
The distillery became a limited company in 1895.
The Dawson family was involved with production at St. Magdalene from 1798 until 1912, when it went into liquidation. It was then acquired by DCL
Three years later, in 1915, it became one of the five founding distilleries of Scottish Malt Distillers (SMD) along with Clydesdale, Glenkinchie, Grange and Rosebank.
