Description
An official Lindores Abbey single malt, a 4 year old from 2018, drawn from cask 18/225 and bottled at 60.1%. Only 252 bottles were released. Lindores Abbey, in Fife, is widely called the spiritual home of Scotch whisky, the place named in the 1494 record of Friar John Cor. The late Dr Jim Swan shaped its cask policy, with his signature shaved, toasted and recharred red wine barriques.
It was drawn off the distillery's copper stills, for a full, fruity make ready for active wood. Maturation came in ex-Bourbon wood, with vanilla and a soft 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 60.1%, undiluted, it is rich and layered. The ex-Bourbon lends vanilla, orchard fruit and butterscotch. A vanilla and a baking spice give it depth. A warming, fruity finish lingers. This is a rich, fruity young Fife single malt.
