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.

Nose: Succulent dates and rich berry jam greet you, intertwined with toasted hazelnuts and a delicate dusting of sweet cinnamon,inviting a moment of anticipation.
Palate:Silky and indulgent, revealing layers of mellow vanilla ice cream drizzled with golden syrup, fresh raspberries, and flaky pastry, all enlivened by vibrant spices. Roasted hazelnuts and subtle
woody notes from the Thiron oak weave through, creating a perfectly balanced and deeply rewarding experience.
Finish: Long and elegant, with sweet spice and nutty warmth leaving a lasting impression.
Created using exceptional quality Old Forester Bourbon, Rejuvenated Wine Barriques and signature Thiron Virgin Oak casks, the formulation behind Thiron 2025 has been meticulously refined to create a dram with depth and character.
The Perfect Balance In comparison to the inaugural release in 2024, Thiron 2025 has a stronger influence from the Virgin Oak casks, with more mature casks being added to contribute to the beautifully unique profile.
