DISTILLERY NEWS

February is all about filling casks. For most of the month we have been filling into Refills, which happen to be our own.

These are the previous fresh casks we filled into and, since they were only used for about three and a half years, they still have a lot of life to give. We are confident in using them again; but obviously maturation in them takes a little longer. We have time to wait !

The new malt – or rather, malt from a new maltsters – is doing just fine. I cannot stress enough how important it is to us to use malt made from barley that was grown in fields that can be viewed from the distillery.

Last year, you may well remember, we did an Organic Malt run and this year we plan to use a different malt, with plenty of local regionality. This malt has probably not been used in Fife for many years, but is more than likely the strain the monks would have been sowing and growing in MCDXCIV.

Again, more to follow as we continue on our Journey to make the best Single Malt Scotch Whisky we can!

CASK NEWS

As always, we have some interesting casks coming up to be filled; and currently making its way to us around the Atlantic are Bodega Sherry Butts from Fernandez Gao, a Bodega that dates back to 1750 – not as old as ourselves, but with plenty pedigree and provenance. You will hear more about them next month.

If you would like to find out more please do not hesitate to get in touch at casks@lindoresabbeydistillery.com

LINDORES WORLWIDE

Over the last 12 months, our Export Manager Tim Foster and the Lindores Team, have been working hard to export Lindores spirit to as many parts of the world as we can. With Covid and Brexit complications this has certainly been a challenge, but we now have distributors in many parts of Europe, and just this week we received our first order from Whisky Galore in New Zealand. They have now taken the ‘furthest from Lindores’ title from Wonderland Drinks in Melbourne!

Canada has proven to be an increasingly large market for us and we are still pursuing distribution in the USA. Looking ahead to 2022-2023 we’ll be adding even more markets to our growing list. So, watch this space!
