Lindores Abbey is known as 'spiritual home of Scotch whisky' with distilling taking place on the site from as early as 1494, as referenced in the exchequer roll of the same year.

It records a Brother John Cor, a Lindores monk, who was commissioned by King James IV to turn 8 bolls of malt into aqua vitae. In 2017 spirit started flowing once again from copper stills at Lindores and this release draws on the abbey's history.

The Friar John Cor ‘The Cask Strength Congregation Batch’ – Chapter 2, was matured in a selection of Bourbon, STR & Peated Rum casks and bottled at cask strength with no added colouring or chill filtration.

The introduction of the peated casks which originally held rum, gives a very exciting point of difference to their unpeated spirit. The end result is just fantastic with a complex whisky with syrupy fruity sweetness balanced perfectly with deep earthy peated notes.
