Description

The Lindores Abbey Friar John Cor Cask Strength Congregation Chapter #1 is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky from the Lowland region, commemorating the historic 1494 distillation at Lindores Abbey by Friar John Cor. This inaugural release in the Cask Strength Congregation series is limited to 4,000 bottles, each bottled at a robust 60.2% ABV. Crafted from a harmonious blend of casks—including bourbon, sherry, shaved-toasted-recharred (STR) wine barriques, and Monbazillac sweet wine casks—this whisky offers a complex and well-balanced profile. The maturation in these diverse casks imparts a rich tapestry of flavors, resulting in a silky texture and intricate character. It is bottled without added color or chill filtration.

Nose
Aromas of mellow ripe banana, honeycomb, apricot, and fresh pastry, complemented by fruity notes of red apples and peaches, with subtle wine-like nuances. Buttery pastry, crisp apple, vanilla cream, and plump sultanas.
Palate
Rich flavors of dates, apricots, and spicy cinnamon, intertwined with figs, prunes, blood orange, and nutty almonds, all enveloped in waves of vanilla. Extremely silky texture. Peaches and cream with dustings of cinnamon and citrus zest.
Finish
A pleasant medium to long finish, characterized by sweet honey, subtle spices, and a nutty undertone. A touch of marzipan and honeyed almonds wrap things up, joined by cakey spice and buttery malt.
