Lindores Abbey has roots in Scottish distillation dating back to the 1400s, being officially recognised as the site of the first recorded distillation of Scotch whisky. In 1494 King James IV commissioned Brother John Cor at Lindores Abbey to make aqua vitae with eight bolls of malt. Now, once again, they are producing whisky as one of the few currently operating Lowland distilleries. The distillery operates with a focus on sustainability and the heritage of the land surrounding the abbey. Use of Kingdom of Fife barley, long fermentation and their 'sister' still setup all contribute to the distillery's balanced and flavourful spirit.
