Description
In 1494 Brother John Cor, a Lindores monk, was commissioned by King James IV in 1494 to turn 8 bolls of malt into Aqua Vitae – the first recorded distillation in Scotch history. The Friar John Cor – Chapter 1, was matured in a combination of Bourbon, Monbazillac, STR, and Sherry casks. The introduction of the Monbazillac casks gives a sweetness and complexity which perfectly compliments the classic Lindores style. Bottled at a cask strength of 60.2% abv and free from chill filtration.
On the nose we find notes of ripe bananas, apricots, apples and peaches along with honeycomb and fresh pastries. The palate is full of flavours of rich dates, spicy cinnamon, fig, blood orange, nutty almonds and waves of vanilla. The close is medium to long, with more complimentary fruit and nut flavours.
