Lindores MCDXCIV Single Malt Whisky

Description

Another brand new distillery in Scotland.  This Lowlander was established in 2017 with the first spirit being laid down in 2020.  So, you get the idea that this offering is just legal single malt whisky.

The consultant work on the distillery was none other than Dr Jim Swann, of Penderyn and many others fame.

All the barley used at Lindores Abbey comes off the Lindores Abbey’s farm.

From Malt Review, “A summer fruit pudding, red berries, and blackberries, all smothered in cream. Vanilla, apples, and citrus notes intermingle with pastry, shortbread and spices, such as nutmeg and cinnamon. The rawness of the spirit comes through, with chilli, resinous wood, and pepper that builds through the dram, but the mouthfeel is thick and creamy, giving a pleasant texture and the aftertaste is one of caramel and lingering dried fruits.
