Lindores 3 Years Old 2019

Lindores is a relative newcomer to the Scotch industry, being founded in 2017 after sizeable international investment to bring the vision to life. The site is home to an abbey and is the location of the first historical mention of ‘aqua vitae’, or the forerunner of whisky. This explains the 1494 that you’ll see associated with the distillery and has become a major component of the brand which launched its debut whisky in 2021. Ongoing research suggests that distillation was practised here before the official date and visitors to the distillery are able to experience the life of the monks, before setting foot into the more modern version of distillation. Lindores has utilised the surrounding fields to source its own barley, much like the monks would have done hundreds of years ago. The whisky is light and fruity, typical lowland in style and represents another entry in the growing Fife whisky scene that can already count Daftmill, Eden Mill and Inchdarnie amongst its members.
