The Spiritual Home of Scotch Whisky

Distilling was taking place at Lindores Abbey at least since 1494. The EARLIEST written reference to Scotch Whisky (Aqua Vitae) appears in the Exchequers Roll of that year. It records Brother John Cor (a Lindores monk) turning 8 balls of malt into Aqua Vitae.

In 2017, spirit started flowing once again from copper stills at Lindores Abbey Distillery, we are delighted to be bringing a very modern whisky-making approach to this ancient site.
