Lindores Abbey Distillery Friar John Cor Chapter 3

Lindores Abbey Distillery Friar John Cor Chapter 3

60.9% abv

Vol- 70cl

Matured in a trio of ex-Bourbon, Amontillado Sherry and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks, before being combined and allowed to marry together back in the Sherry Butts, enhancing their depth, complexity and harmony.
Mahogany in colour, this whisky opens on the nose with sweet vanilla, treacle, honey and ripe orchard fruits.
On the palate, it is full of character and silky smooth, with layers of caramel, dark syrup, raisins, chocolate and nuts, all encased in vibrant spice.
The long, warming finish lingers with fruity tones, cinnamon and a hint of chocolate fudge

Friar John Cor was a Tironensian monk who resided at Lindores Abbey in the 1400s. In 1494, the Friar was commissioned by King James IV to make “aqua vitae” at Lindores Abbey — this is the first written record of Scotch Whisky, recorded in the Exchequer Rolls, the Kings tax records, of the same year.

Distilling was taking place on this site at least as early as 1494, although it was most probably happening long before that. We know this because of the earliest written reference to Scotch Whisky (or Aqua Vitae, as it was then known), which appears in the Exchequer Roll of the same year. It mentioned a Brother John Cor, a Lindores monk, who was commissioned by King James IV to turn 8 bolls of malt into Aqua Vitae. 8 Bolls of malt amounts to around 500kg in modern terms and would have been enough to make about 400 bottles of today’s whisky. In 2017, spirit started flowing once again from copper stills at Lindores Abbey Distillery. Learning as much as they can from the great Scottish distillers around them, past and present, and from others much further afield, they are looking forward to bringing a very modern whisky-making approach to this ancient site.
