It records a Brother John Cor, a Lindores monk, who was commissioned by King James IV to turn 8 bolls of malt into Aqua Vitae. 8 Bolls of malt amounts to around 500kg in modern terms and would have been enough to make about 400 bottles of today’s whisky.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2017, spirit started flowing once again from copper stills at Lindores Abbey Distillery, and the first single malt whisky was released in 2021.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whisky is Fife grown, malted, distilled, matured and bottled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey use the Laureate strain of barley grown on local farms whose fields surround the distillery and would have originally been abbey lands. On site there are three copper pot stills, one large wash still and two smaller spirit stills, which allows greater copper contact in the final distillation, creating a clean and delicate flavour in the spirit. Fermentation takes place in traditional wooden washbacks, supplied by Joseph Brown of Dufftown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe water for Lindores Abbey Distillery whisky comes from a borehole near the distillery, in order that they can draw from the same supply used in 1494. The Abbey was fed by several wells such as the Abbots well, the Monks well, the Bluidy well and the Witches well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this age of sustainability and with the aim to reduce carbon footprint, the supply chain is becoming ever more local allowing for the support of local businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"We are extremely fortunate at Lindores to have had the late, great Dr Jim Swan, guide us through the early stages of our distillery’s journey. His astounding knowledge and skills in maturation were among his many qualities that gained him a huge amount admiration and respect in the world of distilling and the whole industry gained so much from all his work through the years. He helped Lindores forge some fantastic relationships with incredible cask suppliers from all over the world, allowing us to fill into some of the finest quality maturation vessels that the industry has to offer.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lindores Abbey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56376270848373,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/3537\/2571\/files\/2AB46992-9539-4DE6-920B-EF1EF063CE95.jpg?v=1778773645","url":"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/products\/lindores-abbey-thiron-2025-single-malt-scotch-whisky","provider":"Aitken's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
