Lindores Friar John Cor Chapter 3 60.2% Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl

The Friar John Cor ‘The Cask Strength Congregation’ – Chapter 3 has been matured in Amontillado and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, and ex-bourbon barrels. These whiskies were vatted and then allowed to marry in refill Sherry butts, enhancing their depth, complexity, and allowing the flavours to complement each other.

Following the resounding success of its predecessors, this third chapter continues the legacy with an exceptional recipe that will be sure to captivate any whisky lover.  

As with all Lindores bottlings, it has no added colouring and is non-chill filtered. This release is bottled onsite at cask strength of 60.2%.

Lindores Abbey Distillery

Lindores Abbey Distillery can be found in the Spiritual Home of Scotch Whisky in Fife.

Distilling was taking place on this site at least as early as 1494, although it was most probably happening long before that. The earliest written reference to Scotch Whisky (or Aqua Vitae, as it was then known) 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. Thought to have helped to ‘sloeth age’ and ‘abandoneth melancholy’, it was a powerful tonic that was drunk by kings and commoners alike.

Aqua Vitae was the first release from Lindores Abbey and their single malts have already delighted whisky lovers across the world.
