Lindores Abbey Distillery – Commemorative First Release MCDXCIV (2021)

Lindores Abbey Distillery – Commemorative First Release MCDXCIV

Lowlands Single Malt · 46% · 700 ml

Lindores Abbey Commemorative First Release MCDXCIV is the very first official single malt from the re-established Lindores Abbey Distillery in the Lowlands. This bottling marks the return of a historic site where written records of whisky production in Scotland date back to 1494 (MCDXCIV).

Bottled in 2021, the whisky is a vatting of bourbon, sherry, and wine barriques , resulting in an accessible yet layered style. A symbolic release with historical weight, intended as a launchpad for the distillery—not a heavily aged powerhouse.
