Description
An official Lindores Abbey single malt matured to 4 year old from 2018, drawn from cask 18/0489 and bottled at 61%. Just 246 bottles were filled. Lindores Abbey, in Fife, is widely called the spiritual home of Scotch whisky, the place named in the 1494 record of Friar John Cor. Lindores also makes Aqua Vitae, a botanical spirit after the kind of drink the monks once distilled.
It was drawn off the distillery's copper stills, for a full, fruity make ready for active wood. An ex-Bourbon barrel shaped it, American oak under the fruit. Years in active oak round the young spirit and add the cask's own character. The 1494 Exchequer Rolls record a Lindores monk making aqua vitae for the king, the earliest written reference to Scotch. Michael Jackson wrote that for the whisky lover Lindores is a pilgrimage. The distillery was built in 2017 by Drew and Helen McKenzie Smith, whose family has held the land since 1913.
At cask strength 61% it is muscular. The ex-Bourbon lends vanilla, orchard fruit and butterscotch. It is fruity and bold, the spirit and oak well matched. The finish is bright, spiced and warming. This is a layered young single malt from Lindores.
