About the Distillery:

Lindores Abbey Distillery is located beside the historic Lindores Abbey in Newburgh, Fife, a site with an extraordinary connection to the origins of Scotch whisky. In 1494, the Exchequer Rolls recorded a commission from King James IV to Friar John Cor of Lindores Abbey for malt with which to make 'aqua vitae', widely recognised as the earliest written reference to Scotch whisky.

More than five centuries later, whisky production returned to Lindores with the establishment of the modern distillery. Combining this remarkable heritage with contemporary whisky making, Lindores Abbey Distillery produces an elegant Lowland spirit with a focus on quality, provenance and carefully considered maturation, reconnecting one of Scotland's most historically significant whisky sites with its distilling past.
