The Lindores Abbey Friar John Cor The Cask Strength Congregation Chapter II is a limited-edition single malt whisky from The Lindores Distilling Co. Ltd., located in the historic region of Lowland, Fife, Scotland. This remarkable whisky pays homage to Friar John Cor, who is revered as the Father of Scotch Whisky. It is the second chapter in a series that commemorates the historical significance of Lindores Abbey, recognized as the birthplace of recorded Scotch whisky distillation dating back to 1494.
This exquisite expression is bottled at a robust cask strength of 60.9% ABV and is matured in an exceptional trio of casks: bourbon barrels, STR (Shaved, Toasted, and Re-charred) wine barriques, and peated rum barrels that previously contained heavily peated whisky from Islay. This unique maturation process imparts a symphony of flavors, including sweet fruits like pears, bananas, and dates, intertwined with earthy peat and maritime nuances.
On the nose, the whisky greets you with a rich and sweet aroma of maple syrup, banana, apples, and cinnamon, complemented by subtle waves of smoky, earthy peat and maritime notes. The palate is velvety smooth, revealing layers of ripe pear, roasted banana, mixed spice, and caramelized nutty almonds, followed by more earthy peat and a hint of coastal air. The finish is long-lasting and full of character, leaving a balanced and lingering spiciness with hints of peat and sweet fruit.
This distinguished single malt is free from chill filtration and contains no added coloring. It is presented in an elegant black bottle, inspired by the cloth tunics worn by the Lindores monks in the late 1400s, making it a true collector's item.
