Lindores Abbey The Friar John Cor – The Cask Strength Congregation Batch - Chapter 3
The third chapter in Lindores Abbey’s homage to the original monk of Scotch whisky, this congregation is no quiet sermon. This bold, cask strength single malt was matured in a trio of casks – bourbon, Amontillado and Pedro Ximénez sherry – before being reunited in sherry butts to find harmony.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Ripe orchard fruit – baked apple and pear in golden syrup – rise first, wrapped in thick ribbons of vanilla and honey. Treacle tart and marzipan follow, with flashes of toasted almonds and dusty cinnamon. As it opens, layers of orange oil, milk chocolate, and a drizzle of PX richness emerge, alongside a faint leathery dryness from the Amontillado cask influence.
Palate
Caramel and sticky toffee pudding lead, quickly joined by rum-soaked raisins, roasted hazelnuts, and dark syrup. There's a backbone of baking spice – clove, nutmeg, and warming cinnamon – threaded with touches of dark chocolate, espresso grounds, and dried fig. A pleasing nuttiness builds alongside a sweet oak presence and gentle tannin grip.
Finish
Fruitcake and candied citrus peel are followed by cocoa-dusted almonds and a final wave of chocolate fudge.
