Description
A distillery bottling of Lindores Abbey, a 5 year old from 2018, drawn from cask 180638 and bottled at 60.1%. Only 293 bottles were released. Founded in 2017 by Drew and Helen McKenzie Smith, Lindores Abbey distils where a monk made aqua vitae for the king in 1494. The whisky writer Michael Jackson called Lindores a pilgrimage, and the abbey is widely held to be the spiritual home of Scotch.
The spirit was made in copper pot stills from barley grown on the abbey grounds, for a rich, fruity young spirit. A wine cask held it, layering fruit over the make. The house style is built on active, carefully chosen casks and patience rather than age alone. The Tironensian abbey was founded in 1191 on the banks of the Tay, and welcomed kings for centuries. Lindores also makes Aqua Vitae, a botanical spirit after the medieval water of life. The whisky is bottled on site at Newburgh to keep transport low. A young distillery, it leans on active casks to bring its whisky to life quickly.
At a natural 60.1% it is bold and full. The Port cask adds plum and red berry. The texture is full and layered, the fruit lifted by oak. A warming, fruity finish lingers. This is a young Lowland malt from where Scotch began.
