Friar John Cor Chapter III

Where to buy, and why…

Friar John Cor Chapter III will be available to buy through selected stockists from 27th May. There is no denying that running a bottle shop in the current climate is not easy. Margins are tight, costs are high and loyalty is fragile. Yet, these shops still show up and open their doors for whisky lover, or whisky shoppers, like you. These shops are not just shelves. They are years of knowledge, experience, curation and passion. They are people. That’s why we’re releasing Friar John Cor Chapter II to our stockists first, before it goes anywhere else. We chose to prioritise those who have been championing whisky long before hashtags did, and those who have always supported Lindores. Buying a bottle of Friar John Cor Chapter III from one of our stockists not only gets you a great bottle of whisky, it also supports a business fighting to retain something personal in a world that’s going generic. Find a list of stockists below. If your local bottle shop is not listed, please contact us.

SPEYSIDE WHISKY

On its journey to the sea, the fast-flowing River Spey passes some of the great centres of whisky production, and its banks and surrounding areas boast the highest concentration of distilleries in the country. The area’s whisky-making tradition began long before it was formally recognised as a distinct region. Early distillers thrived there, many operating in secrecy due to frequent raids by tax officers.
