Lindores Abbey Distillery is located in Newburgh in Fife, Scotland. The history of the distillery dates back to the 12th century, when David Earl of Huntingdon founded the abbey. In the year 1494, in the exchequer rolls of Dunfermline (the Scottish capital at the time) it was recorded -
“To Friar John Cor, 8 bolls of Malt, wherewith to make Aqua Vitae for King James IV”.
This was the first ever written mention of whisky being made in Scotland. Friar Jon Cor was the Friar of Lindores Abbey, Fife, in the Scottish Lowlands. In 2017, Drew McKenzie Smith decided to bring back whisky making to its original home, by officially opening Lindores Abbey Distillery.
Today, the distillery continues to produce single malt Scotch whisky, carrying on the legacy of the monks who once practiced the craft there centuries ago.
This Limited Edition Casks of Lindores is the second batch of Bourbon Cask whisky Lindores Abbey Distillery have released. Matured for over three years, exclusively in high quality Bourbon Barrels, one of the three core casks of Lindores. A non-chill filtered single malt, bottled at the distillery at a strength of 49.4% ABV.
Official Tasting Notes
Colour - Pale gold.
Nose - Pleasant mellow fruity apples, ripe banana, sweet pears and vanilla, buttercream and caramel notes with subtle citrus touches.
Palate - Fruity green apples, citrus lemon, banana, vanilla, oaky woody notes, coffee beans and spicy peppery touches. Pleasant silky texture.
Finish - A medium length finish.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
