Lindores Friar John Cor Chapter III Cask Strength 60.2% Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl
The Friar John Cor ‘The Cask Strength Congregation Batch’ – Chapter 3, was matured in a selection of ex-Bourbon barrels, Amontillado and PX Sherry Butt casks. These whiskies were vatted and then allowed to marry in refill Sherry butts, enhancing their depth, complexity, and allowing flavours complement each other. This "symphony of casks" creates a whisky that is elegant, complex and deeply satisfying - the perfect balance between tradition and innovation.
Bringing together the exceptional qualities of ex-Bourbon, Amontillado, and PX Sherry casks, these whiskies were vatted and then allowed to marry in refill sherry butts, enhancing their depth, complexity, and harmony. Mahogany in colour, this whisky opens the nose with sweet vanilla, treacle, honey and ripe orchard fruits. On the palate, it is full of character and smooth, with layers of caramel, dark syrup, raisins, chocolate and nuts, all encased in vibrant spice. The long, warming finish lingers with fruity notes, cinnamon and a hint of chocolate fudge.

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 is the first release from Lindores Abbey and this, their first single malt has delighted whisky lovers all over the world.
