Description
This Lindores Abbey single malt, a 4 year old release from 2018, drawn from cask 18/485 and bottled at 62.9%. The outturn was 276 bottles. Lindores Abbey Distillery opened in 2017 beside the abbey ruins where Scotch whisky was first written of in 1494. The 1494 Exchequer Rolls record a Lindores monk, Friar John Cor, making aqua vitae for King James IV, the earliest written reference to Scotch.
Distilled on water from a borehole the monks first dug, building the layered Lindores style. Maturation came in ex-Bourbon wood, with vanilla and a soft fruit. A long fermentation builds the fruit that the casks then frame. The late Dr Jim Swan shaped the cask policy, with his signature recharred red wine barriques. Barley is grown on the abbey land and water drawn from a borehole the monks first dug. The first single malt, MCDXCIV, the Roman numerals for 1494, was released in 2021.
At a full 62.9% it is bold and fruity. The ex-Bourbon lends vanilla, orchard fruit and butterscotch. Beneath it run stone fruit, butterscotch and a soft spice. Stone fruit and butterscotch draw out the close. This is the single malt of Scotch whisky's spiritual home.
