At Lindores they use three cask types as standard: bourbon, sherry and
STR wine barriques. To highlight the variety of flavours, they have
released a series under the label 'The Casks of Lindores', bringing together
single malts that have matured exclusively in such a type of cask. This
one is the STR Wine Barriques release from 2022. There is no mention of age, but it can't be older than 5 yo, as the distillery was opened in 2017, near the Abbey of Lindores, a monument from the Middle-Age, closed in 1559, where the most ancient known transaction of whisky has occured. The mystery is kept about the number of bottles put on sale.
Let's Taste It :
A little plum touch, very round and fruity, but light, drops of honey
that fall on the tongue, vanilla and whipped cream. Fresh mint, banana
and soft lemon, cherry clafoutis. Hands smeared with blackberries.
Fondant with blackcurrant, goat's milk. In the mouth, it's syrupy,
molasses, marshmallow, and of course honey. The spices are very well-managed, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg. It's herbaceous at the
end, the finish follows, long, on hazelnut, prune, heather,
caramel. A cola nut, malty freshness.
In Short,
Very friuty and honeyed, it's a good product, whose youth is unnoticeable. No flaws, maybe it's a little light though. The price is still high, but you can find it more or less everywhere.
Score : 86
