The Perfect Gift for those who Enjoy a Craft Spirit

A bottle under the tree

  • Our award winning Lindores Single Malt Scotch Whisky M C D X C I V (1494), matured in a selection of Bourbon Barrels, Wine Barriques and Sherry Butts. Distilled from Kingdom of Fife barley through our distinctive ‘sister’ spirit stills and distillery bottled. You can buy our single malt in 70cl, 20cl and 5cl miniature bottles. 

  • The Friar John Cor ‘Cask Strength Congregation Batch’ – Chapter 2, an exquisite and unique single malt Scotch whisky crafted from a selection of Bourbon, STR & Peated Rum casks. Each batch is non-chill filtered and bottled onsite at the batch cask strength of 60.9%, resulting in a complex whisky with syrupy fruity sweetness balanced perfectly with deep earthy peated notes. Housed in a striking black bottle which mirrors the Exclusive 1494 First Release Bottle, it celebrates Lindores Abbey’s long history and was so popular that the Chapter 1 sold out across the UK in just a few days after its release date. Available in 70cl bottles.

  • Our Aqua Vitae, a multi award winning handcrafted botanical spirit, made on site using spices, dried fruit and locally grown green herbs such as Douglas fir and sweet cicely. With citrus notes and full of sweet and spiced flavours, Aqua Vitae is delicious as a mixed drink or a cocktail base. You can buy our Aqua Vitae in 70cl, 20cl and 5cl miniature bottles.

Gift of a Lifetime

As well as their Cask they will also receive:

  • An official certificate of ownership
  • Their name etched onto a wooden stave on the wall of our Visitor Centre

  • Advanced notification of any future special bottlings
  • An invitation to all exclusive events we host for cask owners including an annual Cask Owners Gathering

Apothecary Experiences

The Perfect Gift for those who like to try something special

For a really unique Christmas experience, you could buy the spirit lover in your life an Apothecary Experience.

Long before pharmacies and doctors, we relied upon an Apothecary. These learned individuals studied the health giving benefits of herbs and spices and more often than not studied the arts of distillation. Should you have taken ill 500 years ago, you’d seek out the Apothecary at the local monastery who would prescribe a tincture made of herb, spice or fruit to cure your ailments.

Today you can sit in a modern recreation of an Apothecary here at Lindores and skilfully blend a range of curious tinctures to create your very own, unique Aqua Vitae. Once your spirit is bottled, you need to come up with a name for you creation, and we will then label and date your Spirit, as well as note in down for posterity in our leather bound Distillery recipe book. You can then take your spirit home and let all your friends and family sample it!

Similar to blending whisky or creating a gin, our Apothecary Experiences are one of a kind workshops, that take you right back to the ancient arts of distillation.
