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.
As a fully un-peated malt distillery, for this release Lindores has experimented with peaty flavours, filling their fruit forward new make spirit into a ex-peated cask. This cask first aged Caribbean Rum, then travelled to Islay where it held peated malt whisky. For the past 6 years, it has been maturing the Lindores spirt, resulting in an exceptional single malt whisky, full of interesting aromas and flavours to excite the senses.
A limited release of just 231 bottles, drawn from a unique ex-Rum Peated Cask. Bottled at the cask strength of 59.1% ABV, available exclusively at selected UK stockists.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - Soft peat smoke, sea breeze, ripe pear and floral heather.
Palate - Toffee apple, muscovado sugar, cinnamon spice. earthy peat, coastal savoury notes.
Finish - Mid-long, with lingering smoke and light toffee.
Limited to 1 bottle per customer.

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
