The Casks of Lindores types a collection of three restricted version whiskies from Lindores Abbey. I consider all of them are 3 years previous, however they deal with a special kind of cask important to the home model of the distillery.
There’s this bourbon cask model as the primary expression on this collection. The STR wine model arrived nearly concurrently. The ultimate Oloroso sherry cask model has been launched simply now. All three come collectively within the MCDXCIV first launch as an example.
Lindores ‘The Casks of Lindores’ – Bourbon (49,4%, OB 2021, 11.000 btl.)
Nostril: good spirit in an excellent cask. It offers you very drinkable but in addition predictable whisky. There may be malt, sourdough bread, apples, lemon cheesecake and a touch of white pepper. Perhaps a bit recent pineapple too. Vanilla will not be overdone. Some grassy notes within the background.
Mouth: fairly creamy however with an onset that’s softer than anticipated. Extra citrus freshness (tangerines seem), yellow fruits, vanilla and loads of biscuity notes. Bready notes. Then hints of bitter ale. You continue to really feel the spirity character – I feel the steadiness between the cask and the spirit might be improved.
End: not too lengthy, relatively grainy with lingering orchard fruits.
On the one hand I feel this whisky deserved extra energetic wooden, to remove a few of the spirity edges. However I perceive why they’d wish to have the spirit within the highlight. In conclusion there’s room for enchancment but it surely’s a good, straightforward consuming teenager. Obtainable from Abbey Whisky as an example, or Whiskysite.nl on this aspect of the channel.
