Суммаризация отзывов

Молодой виски (3–4 года) из новой низменной винокурни, в целом приятный и лёгкий, но простой и не всегда сбалансированный; многие отмечают потенциал на будущее.

развернуть подробно

В отзывах этот первый релиз чаще всего описывают как молодой (примерно 3–4 года) и при этом довольно приятный и лёгкий для питья. Нос нередко характеризуют как мягкий и фруктовый — с яблоком, грушей, бананом, цитрусовыми, ванилью, мёдом, солодом и цветочными нотами; встречаются также дрожжевые, хлебные и травянистые оттенки, а иногда лёгкие серные или «сырные»/молочные ноты. Во вкусе упоминают маслянистость и обволакивающую текстуру, фруктовость, ваниль, мёд, солод, специи (перец, имбирь), дубовую горечь и лёгкую сладость; некоторые называют его водянистым, другие — неожиданно плотным и «горячим» из-за алкоголя. Финиш в основном средний или средне-длинный, тёплый, с перцем, дубом, иногда сухой и горьковатый, а в ряде отзывов — короткий. Общий тон отзывов: это не выдающийся и не особенно запоминающийся виски, но добротный и «дружелюбный» первый выпуск, который хорошо идёт как лёгкий драм, в том числе в жару или в коктейле. Несколько человек прямо пишут, что он простой, «ничего особенного», «плоский» или слишком молодой и несбалансированный, а один отзыв резко негативный (пустота во вкусе, жгучий алкоголь). При этом многие сходятся на том, что для такого юного возраста результат достойный и у винокурни есть потенциал, и с интересом ждут будущих релизов. Отдельно отмечают исторический контекст (первое письменное упоминание виски в Шотландии, 1494 год) и состав бочек (бурбон, винные и шерри-каски).

My first release that I have in the glass. For what is probably a young age, he brings a lot to the table. All in all, relatively simple but pleasant to drink. A good dram to relax in the sun, especially in the summer months.

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2021/08/17/another-s-w-a-g-lindores-abbey-first/ N: Incredibly complimentary of the spirit’s DNA, the fruits are lighter/greener yet still soft/summery, and there’s a lovely bready ‘bloomer’ savoury-sweetness too. The bourbon maturation influence is clear but nothing is peaking/sticking out, it’s just so. T: Picking up faithfully from the new make, as a whisky, this one comes in at cruise control from the off, continuing to travel that way completely undeterred. Though not light as such, it is ridiculously ‘easy’/effortlessly moreish barley spirit I could drink by the bucket-load. Amazing really, that they’ve arrived at this in just three + years. F: A complimentary finish in keeping with the new make, slight coppery, malty light yeasty with a slight spiciness showing alongside more utterly un-resinous bourbon cask-influence. C: Exceptionally faultless/straightforward/well-rounded whisky, the unwavering mouthfeel and delivery, this one’s firm appeal. Furthermore, I commend Lindores for their relaxed accessible release & pricing policy, one that deliberately avoids/negates the ‘exclusivity’ flipper model. Looking ahead, Lindores will continue to stick to their scaled-up ‘whisky to be opened’ plan by avoiding ‘limited’ batch releases.

History right here -Whilst I have a bottle of this with the fancier label it's the same whisky that's in the M bottle. The first place whisky was ever mentioned in the historical records of Scotland was at Lindores Abbey so they've gone and opened up a distillery there and this is their first ever release. You'd have to say it's very good -more lowland that Highland, it's a light fruity nose with a Oily almost creamy palate . This is going to be a distillery to watch out for -no doubt about it

whisky_knight Expert Senior 70 05 oct 2021 9:01 am

This first release (aged only 3 – 4 years) isn’t a legendary dram by any means, but it shows some fantastic aspects, such as a great, coating mouthfeel, interesting palate, and a medium-long finish already for such a young aged bottle. This would be a fine starter dram for the evening, and I can’t wait to see what this Lowland distillery is going to release in a few years. It’s shown enough potential that it’s a new distillery to watch out for in the near future.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	70	Apples, white wine, pears, open field floral quality (very light). It’s a gentle nose.
Вкус	71	Surprisingly soft, coating mouthfeel. For a 1st Release from this new Lowlands distillery, I was expecting a thin mouthfeel, but it was the opposite, having an enjoyable, medium viscosity coating. Caramel, stewed plums (faint), vanilla, ginger and gentle black pepper on the front palate and continuing through the finish, but not overpowering. It keeps the dram lively, but it tastes young (as it is). Fresh, new cut lumber. Passion fruit tart-sweetness that causes you to salivate in the corners of your mouth. Honey as well.
Финиш	69	Medium-Long. Which is surprising for a bottle this young (Commemorative First Release). Medium ginger spice that fades nicely to a gentle warmth. Light oak bitterness, leather dominate the finish, but some light stewed plums from the sherry cask, along with light honey notes.

1665) Lindores Abbey, 2017/2021, Commemorative First Release, MCDXCIV (1494) Always exciting to try a new distillery and hopefully able to follow along the way to see how it develop over the coming years. Rests on the site of the ancient abbey at Fife where whisky distilling were first written in Scotland history, surely quite some romantic elements attach to it.

Nose: diffuse and random, vanilla, pear, apple, grapes, cereals, orange, milk chocolate Palate: present but a little watery, vanilla, pear, apple, grapes, a few figs Finish: short and little going on, dextrose, vanilla, some spicy wood Evaluation: he's nothing half and nothing whole to me, probably doesn't really know himself what he actually wants... It all seems very diffuse and arbitrary. It's not bad, but it's not enough for me either. 83/100 or 5/10

12.500 Last summer the long-awaited first release of this new Lowland distillery appeared (at least the one that was made available to the general public). I confess that I don't really know what the difference is with that other release that appeared at the same time under the name 'Lindores Abbey Single Malt Scotch MCDXCIV', because the composition is the same, the alcohol percentage is the same... Let's put them H2H. The nose is pleasantly sweet, a tad candy-like and young. But in a good way. As I like it. Quite a few esters translate to Granny Smith apples in the pan and quite a bit of vanilla. Something like hazelnuts. Soft touch of yeast, but by no means disturbing. Gooseberries, kiwi, lychee. Nice and oily, sweet and candy-like again. I have to think about champagne for a moment, really. But without the bubbles. Banana, pear, apple and some spiciness that I assign to the wine barrel. Caramel and toffee appear. This is pretty tasty, though. The finish is fairly short, it's true, but nothing wrong with it. Fine youngster. The only difference I can detect is... the label (and the number of bottles of course, of these 12,500 have been released). Apart from that, they are, in my opinion, identical whiskies. Well, no, not quite. This is just a bit tastier than the general release. But since they are both very friendly priced, it does not bother me that they are so similar.

Rough. It is interesting for sure, specially the cheesy, lactic aroma, but it is too hot and unripe.

It's a fine whisky, pleasant even. But it also doesn't have one defining quality that makes it very memorable.

Lindores Abbey, 3 years, 46% alc. Original bottling. Expansion: Bourbon, sherry, wine barrels. Nose: At first it cannot hide its youth, with a little air in the glass it immediately becomes milder. It'll take a few minutes. Then you get pleasant fruit aromas, some not yet fully ripe peaches, some pears and slightly tart apples. The fruit is integrated in fudge with a vanilla aroma and a hint of malt. Palate: Stronger than the nose suggested, much stronger, alcoholic. The tart apple is increasing, citrus fruits, malt and vanilla, I can also taste bitter caramel. Removes a nut aroma. Finish: Warm, medium to long, very dry. Conclusion: As the first freely available bottling from the distillery, this single malt definitely doesn't need to hide. Youthful and fresh. It has its line from mildly fruity to strong to very dry. We will see where the journey goes in the years to come. There is definitely potential. 80/100 points (2021) - www.notesofmalt.com

For collectors 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 produce Aqua Vitae from malt. Today, 500 years later, whisky is again being produced in Lindores Abbey. The Lowlander partly matures in wine and sherry casks. The Commemorative First Release is a limited bottling in specially labeled bottles.

A complete void of flavor and such an alcohol content that it burns even the nose and gets stuck in the throat. Lowlands at its worst...

The_Osprey Expert Senior 92 16 sep 2021 8:20 pm

Lindores Abbey MCDXCIV Commemorative First Release, 46%. 30ml at home, Sep 2021. Pale golden yellow. Aroma has prosecco, white French dessert wine, elderflower cordial and the slightest touch of carrot and apple baby food up front. A hint of tequila later on. Tequila and lemonade. After a while in the glass it develops something not dissimilar to salt and vinegar crisps. Not an expected aroma profile at all. I'm not sure I've ever nosed a whisky like it. Very interesting. Taste is delicate, again it hints at white wine and elderflower, minerally, a salty middle leads to faint bready, biscuity vibes that linger on along with the salt and minerally dry white wine notes, ending in a crunchy oaken bitterness. Definitely one of the most unusual and distinctive whiskies I've tried. Really carves out a corner for itself as whisky's answer to white wine. It's a young whisky but one that plays to its strengths brilliantly and delivers a profile that is unexpected and really enjoyable. Well, I was not expecting to enjoy this anywhere near as much as I did. It is excellent, although I'm glad I had this as the first whisky of the night as I think the subtle character could get lost if it followed something richer. Overall I really think this is a sensational first effort. Smashed it out of the park just about as well as anyone could do for a first up offering. 3.85/92

Erik1702 Expert Senior 83 23 feb 2024 10:34 pm

Nose: Sweet, lemon, malt, floral, vanilla, mealy apple, oak, hazelnut ••• Taste: Oak, sweet, edible paper, vanilla, malt, floral note, cherry, apple ••• Finish: Medium long, sweet, slightly floral Note of edible paper, cherry and light oak remains ••• Conclusion: Quite simple on the nose and relatively “flat” but not bad either. The oak initially takes center stage in the taste. The notes from the nose then take over. Only the apple changes to cherry here. A pleasant whisky that doesn't overwhelm. Perfectly okay for his young age. No missing grades.

Нос	80	Starts off rather malty and yeasty. Reminiscent of malty beers, slightly salty porridge and a subtle citrus note. Fruity aromas and old wine barrels slowly follow. With water: malty, wheat beer, banana, blackcurrant, porridge and lemon drops.
Вкус	73	Spicy, malty and woody tones fight for the upper hand. pithy spice followed by fruity reflexes, then lots of pepper, nutmeg and lemon seeds. Still a bit unbalanced. With water: a little better but still very unsettling. Malt, fruit syrup and slightly burnt oak.
Финиш	77	Long, malty, nutty, vinous oak and a tart, pithy florality

Alterjoe Expert Junior 84 19 aug 2021 9:05 pm

The streaks on the edge of the glass let you look forward to the first sip. Really tough and thick, it runs down the glass wall. Nose: fruity notes of sour apples and not yet ripe pears and bananas dominate. Behind it nice notes of nuts and biscuits. As with the 1494, the yeasty smell is also present here, but by no means annoying. On the contrary, it harmonizes wonderfully with the fruit notes. A hint of vanilla comes up. The alcohol tingles your nose a little and of course you can tell it is a certain youth. Taste: Hui ... he starts really strong. I definitely wouldn't have expected that. Wild and boisterous with a little banana, pear and apple. Then the spices come and really tingle on the tongue. The Wine Barrels did a great job here. The youth can also be clearly recognized here. Still an oily and nice mouthfeel. Finish: A lot of spices and a nice note of caramel and toffee. For the still young age it lasts a surprisingly long time. Conclusion: Of course you can tell that he is young and has a certain immaturity. Unlike other and equally new distilleries, it cannot hide this behind any smoke. In my opinion, he doesn't have to either. It's going in exactly the right direction here. Very good quality work. When I look a few years into the future, it brings a little grin on my face. Let a little more time pass and this paired with good quality barrels, you can definitely look forward to it.

Not bad. First Lindores release and I'm pleasantly surprised. This is a young dram, about 3 – 4 years old. With a lot of potential. Flowery, sweet, elegant... But, drops dead quiet fast. The mouthfeel is special, covering the entire oral cavity with a sweet film. Not bad! Looking forward to future bottlings.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	71	Sweet on the nose with elements like hay, candy, rosewater, frutella-sweets and a hint of stable (animal-like). Hint of white wine and pear...
Вкус	75	Sweet and bitter with a lot of fresh pears. Chestnut, waffles, caramel, hint of vanilla and ginger. Mouthfeel is great; this whisky seems to be coating the entire mouth with a gentle sweet film. The taste is rather young, but very pleasant; a lot of evolution though- sweetness disappears rather quickly and the bouquet seems to drop dead.
Финиш	77	Sweet finish, flowery, rocky, sticky... Medium long finish that dies out slowly. Ginger comes back. Gentle. Lovely.
