Lindores Abbey, MCDXCIV, Lowland, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (46%)

Description

Whilst the good brothers of Lindores Abbey were distilling aqua vitae for the King in 1494, I cannot imagine that they weren’t partaking of a wee dram or two. Sadly, none of their possibly divine elixir remains. But this beautiful new entrant into the Fife whisky firmament is assuredly worthy. Lashings of stone-fruit and plump cereal with crumbly vanilla fudge shine forth on the nose. The palate is similarly generous, with notes of citrus and marzipan. A finish of Bakewell tart and sweet barley suggests that this debuting distillery is ordained for greatness.

About this spirit

Lindores Abbey Distillery

Just east of Newburgh, overlooking the Tay River in Scotland’s Lowlands sits Lindores Abbey Distillery – arguably, the spiritual home of Scotch whisky. The distillery occupies the site of the eponymous Lindores Abbey, founded in 1191. The earliest written reference of aqua vitae (as Scotch whisky was then known) appears in abbey documents from 1494 when Brother Jon Cor was tasked with producing it for King James IV.
