A new limited edition release from Lindores Abbey distillery, released in celebration of Friar John Cor, who in 1494 was commissioned by King James IV to turn 8 bolls of malt into Aqua Vitae, which is said to be the earliest known written reference to the production of what we now call whisky! The Friar John Cor Chapter 1 has been crafted from Lowland single malt matured in a combination of bourbon, Monbazillac, STR and sherry casks. The addition of the Monbazillac adds a complexity and sweetness to the classic Lindores single style.

Tasting Notes

Awards


Nose

Mellow ripe banana, honeycomb, apricot, and fresh pastry aroma fills the nose. A beautiful combination of fruity red apples, peaches, and layers of winey touches.

Palate

Rich fruity dates, apricots and spicy cinnamon with figs, prunes, blood orange, nutty almonds and waves of vanilla. Extremely silky texture. Very well balanced and complex.

Finish

Pleasant medium to long with sweet honey, subtle spices and nutty.
