Lindores Abbey plays an important role in the history of Scotch whisky: the earliest written mention of whisky (or aqua vitae) dates from 1494, in the Exchequer Roll of the same year. Brother John Cor, a Lindores monk, was commissioned by King James IV to make aqua vitae from malt. Today, 500 years later, whisky is again being produced directly opposite Lindores Abbey. The Lowlander is partly matured in wine and sherry casks.
