Tasting Notes
Lindores Abbey Friar John Cor - The Cask Strength Congregation Batch - Chapter 1 is a remarkable single malt whisky that takes you on a captivating journey through time. Imagine the scent of buttery pastries, bursting with honeyed apricots and crisp apples, embracing you as you uncork the bottle. The palate is a delightful dance of peaches and cream, dusted with cinnamon and citrus zest, accompanied by sticky dried prunes, dates, and figs. Waves of vanilla and honey intertwine seamlessly, creating a silky, indulgent experience. As you savor the finish, notes of marzipan and honeyed almonds linger, complemented by hints of cakey spice and buttery malt. This cask-strength single malt, matured in a harmonious blend of bourbon, Monbazillac sweet wine, STR, and sherry casks, is a true testament to the historic legacy of Lindores Abbey and the pioneering spirit of Friar John Cor, the monk who produced the first written reference to Scotch whisky in 1494.
