And it’s coming exclusively to Members of the Club this January.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the first time in over 500 years, \u003cem\u003eaqua vitae\u003c\/em\u003e is once more being distilled at Lindores. The first recorded Scotch whisky distillation occurred at Lindores Abbey in 1494, while 2017 saw the stills fired up once more. Re-emerging among the likes of new wave Scottish distilleries you already love – think Ardnamurchan and Kilchoman – Lindores are clearly raising the stakes for single malt Scotch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir first and signature release, the Lindores MCDXCIV (1494, get it?), slammed home a Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2022, and even took out ‘Gold Outstanding’ at the International Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Competition in the same year, with a nearly perfect 98 out of 100 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lindores Coonawarra Cabernet Single Cask is the first ever single cask to come into Australia from this resurrected distillery. Their fruit-forward, gold medal-winning new make whisky has been fully matured in none other than the savoury elegance and darling of Australian red wine, Coonawarra Cabernet – one of which recently took out best Cabernet in the world at London’s International Wine Challenge this year. This single cask release is luscious and refined; a kindred spirit to The Balvenie’s Red Rose but at a quarter of the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt an indulgent 53.2% ABV, non-chill filtered with natural colour, this’ll no doubt join the race for your new Lowland favourite with its religiously good flavour profile of \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewarm orange tart\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003elight plum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esweet dough\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, with a \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eraspberry jam\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ethick honeyed malt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecinnamon finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou’ll be unlikely to see another scrupulous, full maturation single cask from Lindores like this any time soon.
