New exclusive bottlings from Lindores Abbey - Denmark only

About Lindores Abbey The distillery:

In the Scottish Finance Archive from June 1494, the earliest known reference to what is now known as Scotch Whisky can be found. The piece of text is about a shipment of malted barley to a monk from Lindores Abbey in Scotland.

"To Brother John Cor, 8 sacks of malted barley to make Aqua Vitae for King James IV"

This quote cements Lindores Abbey as the spiritual home of Scotch Whisky. It's a legacy that Lindores Abbey Distillery still carries with it today, more than 500 years later.

While Lindores may be rich in tradition, the distillery is young and its methods are cutting-edge and innovative - experimenting with new fermentation times, specially designed boiler systems and blending across cask types.

Lindores uses selected bourbon, sherry, and vinfade to mature their whisky. Lindores Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is their standard release, which contains a blend of the three cask types. Each year, there are also limited releases of the casks separately.

Lindores has one of the longest fermentation periods in the whisky world - 117 hours. This - along with an unusual distillation process - results in a single malt that, despite its young age, has a truly remarkable character.

Lindores uses a specialized distillation system - after the whisky is first distilled in a massive wash still called "Dodo", it is transferred to two sister stills named after the owners' daughters Puppy and Gee. The fact that the whisky is distilled in two smaller stills - rather than one large one - means that there is twice as much contact with the copper inside of the still. This amplifies and refines the wonderful flavors that develop during the extraordinarily long fermentation period.

The somewhat unique and very beautiful bottle design is inspired by the decoration on the bricks found during the excavation of the old Lindores Monastery.
