Description
Whilst clambering amongst the casks of Lindores Abbey, in the company of Whisky Blender Lorena Baez Subiabre, she pointed out a hidden jewel she had squirrelled away at the back of her warehouse. This juicy, ex-Calvados cask yielded bright, golden whisky full of trademark distillery sweetness and pleasingly toothsome orchard fruits.

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.
