History,
As the officially recognised site of the first recorded distillation of Scotch Whisky in 1494, which appears in the Exchequer Roll of the same year, Lindores is again taking its place in history with its Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
Over 500 years after Brother John Cor, a Lindores monk, was commissioned by King James IV to turn 8 bolls of malt into Aqua Vitae, Lindores are delighted to re-open the history book.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Elegant, soft, mellow vanilla, caramel notes playing with orchard fruits and sweet pear drops. Reminiscent of toffee apples!
Palate: Smooth with a creamy texture and a perfect balance of mellow vanilla, dried fruits, citrus touches with a hint of spice.
Finish: Medium length, delicate but lingering finish.

Delicious with rich history
I got to sample this whiskey while visiting Scotland last month and it was surprisingly good. Especially from a newer distillery. This place however, has an amazing history of being the place with recorded proof of the first place to make whiskey ever. The distillery is located on the same property as the old Abbey ruins where monks made whiskey for the king. I really hope that Hi-Time will start carrying the Aqua Vitae that this place makes.
