Lindores The Friar John Cor Cask Strength Congregation Batch Chapter 3 Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
In stock
Friar John Cor was a Tironensian monk who resided at Lindores Abbey in the 1400s. In 1494, the Friar was commissioned by King James IV to make “aqua vitae” at Lindores Abbey — this is the first written record of Scotch Whisky, recorded in the Exchequer Rolls, the Kings tax records, of the same year. Over five centuries later, we honour his legacy with an exceptional single malt whisky series that redefines craftsmanship and pays homage to those who paved the way for us. Now, we proudly unveil the third chapter in our story with Friar John Cor Chapter III.
Matured in a trio of ex-Bourbon, Amontillado Sherry and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks, before being combined and allowed to marry together back in the Sherry Butts, enhancing their depth, complexity and harmony.
Mahogany in colour, this whisky opens on the nose with sweet vanilla, treacle, honey and ripe orchard fruits.
On the palate, it is full of character and silky smooth, with layers of caramel, dark syrup, raisins, chocolate and nuts, all encased in vibrant spice.
The long, warming finish lingers with fruity tones, cinnamon and a hint of chocolate fudge.
