Lindores Abbey MCDXCIV

Lindores Abbey is the officially recognised site of the first recorded distillation of Scotch Whisky in 1494; 527 years later, the abbey’s first release has finally arrived in 2021. This exciting expression has been matured for 3 and a half years in a combination of ex-bourbon, ex-sherry and STR (shaved, toasted and recharred) ex-Burgundy wine casks. Each bottle comes at 46% abv.

Soft and mellow on the nose, this dram has plenty of vanilla, caramel, green apples and pear drops. Expect an incredibly smooth and creamy palate, with dried fruits, figs, raisins, a burst of citrus and a hint of spice, making way for a light but lingering finish.
