Lindores The Casks of Lindores Bourbon Scotch Whisky 700ml

Imagine stepping back to 1494, when a monk at Lindores Abbey received a royal commission from King James IV. Brother John Cor transformed eight bolls of malt—roughly 500 kg—into Aqua Vitae, yielding enough for around 400 bottles of modern whisky. This marks Scotland's earliest written record of Scotch whisky production right there at the abbey. Fast forward to 2017, and the copper stills hummed back to life at Lindores Abbey Distillery. By 2021, their inaugural single malt emerged, honoring that storied past.

Enter the exclusive Lindores The Casks of Lindores Bourbon, the debut in a special series celebrating the distillery's acclaimed spirit. Drawn from ex-bourbon casks, this release delivers a bolder profile than the standard single malt, bottled at 49.4% ABV in a 700 ml expression from Scotland's heartland. It's a nod to tradition with a contemporary edge, crafted for those who savor the depth of Scotch whisky reborn.

Pour a measure, and the aroma unfolds gently: ripe red apples and pears mingle with creamy vanilla, butterscotch, and custard, accented by zesty citrus. On the tongue, vanilla leads into orchard fruits like crisp green apples, evolving into subtle bitterness, oak influences, and a peppery spice toward the close. The aftertaste lingers softly with more vanilla, sweet apple, and pear notes, underpinned by woody spice and warming pepper.

This 700 ml bottle captures Lindores Abbey's legacy in every sip, bridging medieval origins with today's craftsmanship. Whether you're building a collection or seeking a standout dram for quiet evenings, its layered character invites exploration. Hailing from the United Kingdom's Scottish lowlands, it stands as a testament to revived artistry. Secure this limited piece of whisky history before it vanishes.
