Молодой (3 года) винокуренный характер из бурбонных бочек, лёгкий и фруктовый в лоуэндском стиле: цитрус, ваниль, тропические фрукты, перечная молодость. Опытные и остальные согласны — крепкий потенциал при заметной юности; оценки плотно держатся около 82–85.
развернуть подробно
В аромате доминируют чистые лёгкие тона от выдержки в бурбонных бочках без хереса и торфа: лимон, яблоко, крыжовник, ваниль, белый шоколад, кокос, мёд, скошенная трава и тропические фрукты (ананас, манго, личи), нередко с цветочными и парфюмерными оттенками. Вкус фруктовый и пряный одновременно — мандарин, груша, ананас, яблочное пюре на фоне обильного белого и чёрного перца с имбирём; тело лёгкое, спирт местами интегрирован не до конца. Послевкусие чаще среднее, тёплое, сладковато-пряное, у части дегустаторов — коротковатое, сухое и резко спиртуозное; отмечают лёгкую горчинку, кислинку и признаки молодого дистиллята (дрожжи, пластик, клеевые ноты).
Опытные ревьюеры трактуют юность снисходительно, делая упор на потенциал: «подождите до десяти лет — тогда будет что-то серьёзное», хваля чистоту спирта и типичный лоуэндский фруктовый характер; их оценки держатся в диапазоне 77–86. Остальные оценки разбросаны шире (69–87): критики упирают на кислый, зерновой, неспелый профиль и чрезмерную спиртуозность послевкусия, сравнивая слабейшие образцы с дешёвым купажом, тогда как сторонники ценят прямолинейную бурбонную чистоту и экзотическую фруктовость. Главное расхождение — не в описании профиля, который согласован, а в готовности прощать молодость: медиана уверенно стоит около 82–83, с типичной оговоркой, что раскрыть винокурню способна лишь более долгая выдержка.
Quick hit review. Clean bourbon cask maturation - no sherry, no peat. This is my preferred way of approaching a young distillery. Light and fresh, the nose opens up with lemon drops, apples and gooseberries, rounded off by honey, melon and grassy notes. Lowland style par excellence. The gingery arrival evolves with pineapple, peach and canned pears - a youthful, yet well-made spirit. Sour sweets, lemon balm and peppery spices linger in the medium finish. A pretty solid expression! RATING: 3.5/5.0 stars ≙ 83 pts → ABOVE AVERAGE
I do think this can become quite a good whisky, but for me, this one is not there yet fully. tasted at a Helder's birthday tasting 10.03.2022

In my opinion, Lindores has a very large potential, it is very good to drink for the age and makes you want more in the future
Potential At the end of 2021, a new release of Lindores appeared that was exclusively matured in bourbon casks. Remember that the first release was a mix of bourbon, sherry and wine casks. So we can expect a completely different whisky here, I think. No less than 11,000 bottles were launched at a very friendly price. I have to say that it is very pale. The nose offers coconut, a truckload of vanilla and white chocolate with puffed rice. Yep: Galak Popri, indeed. In addition, something that reminds me of yeast, which betrays its young age. Finally, some farmer's butter. The body is on the light side and yet it comes in a bit alcoholic. Well, it hasn't had enough time to integrate, I think. Vanilla, unripe pineapple, the flesh of a coconut. Hint of lime juice. Nevertheless, a pleasant 'drinker'. The young age plays a bit of a part in this. The finish is medium and sweet. Some white pepper on the deathbed. Ideal as an aperitif, so to speak. That being said, the potential is undeniable. Wait until it's 10 years old, then we're going to experience something, I think.

A completely unreleased whisky. The aroma and taste were still afloat, but the aftertaste is terribly alcoholic, more suitable for low-grade blended whisky. 18 19 16 16

Edge mechanic hits it very well. Beautiful floral-fruity malt. I'll keep an eye on the distillery. Starts with a lot of vanilla, also has something of take 2 candy. Orange, passion fruit and cinnamon in the mouth.
Why did you rate this whisky 75 points? Because on my scale it's not worth more than 75 points.

Lindores Abbey, 3 years, "The Casks of Lindores - Bourbon", 49.4% alc. Expansion: Bourbon barrels Nose: This Lindores Abbey starts with citrus fruits, mango and some pineapple, plus fresh vanilla pods, marshmallows, shortbread and a little fudge. With a little time in the glass, the citrus fruits become clearer, I think mandarins. Palate: As fruity as in the nose, but with a lot of pepper. Mandarins, vanilla, apple compote and even more colorful pepper. Here you can still feel the youth, the pepper makes the whisky appear much drier and suppresses the fruit aromas. Finish: Long and warming, more balanced than on the palate, slightly dry. Pleasant interplay between the fruit notes and black pepper. Conclusion: young, strong and with a lot of potential. A nice experience for such a young whisky, even if you can clearly tell its age. But something really great is created here. 82/100 points (2022) www.notesofmalt.com
Quite tasty and delicious bourbon cask rendition. Brings out distillery character. No ce fruits, apples, pineapple, citrus, lemon vanilla orange caramels, clean sweet and fruity. If you like straight forward bourbon cask renditions this one works well. Maybe. A young whisky. Few more years in cask will add depth.
Lindores Abbey Casks of Lindores Bourbon Cask 49.4%. 30ml sample, Feb 2022. Pale, yellow-hued. Aroma is hard to pin down, quite subtle, touches of trifle and cheesecake, gooseberry and oatcake. Maybe hints at kiwi. Pleasant aroma, if a little subdued. Taste is soft and subtle, as I have come to expect from this distillery. The abv isn’t low at nearly 50%, but blind I would have guessed lower. The alcohol is nicely integrated, the spirit is pretty clean. There’s a soft gluey vibe behind subtle lime and cracker-like malt, some pisco-like notes. A little salty on the swallow with something vaguely seasidey – rock candy stick alongside a minerality that makes me think of seashells, if that makes the slightest bit of sense. Fairly good, clean stuff. The cask character is very subtle - to the extent that you could be forgiven for thinking this was a barrel-aged tequila. I’m guessing this is 3 years old and comes from the cold part of the warehouse. Very much a 'first whisky of the evening' sort of a whisky. Good but not nearly as enjoyable as some of my first experiences of this distillery's output. You really have to be open to the clean spirit character of this distillery in order to enjoy this. That works for me, but maybe not for everyone. 3.4/81

Slightly one sided in the frontal vanilla overflows but overall good whisky considering the age. Tasty influences of banana on the tongue, towards lemon on the aftertaste, a little bitter.
Still very youthful but still good to drink. Ripe, exotic fruit notes with very nice aromas on the nose. The distillery definitely has potential.

Not very special, this first introduction to Lindores. I was reminded a lot of the Millstone olorosos.
Citrus, white pepper, hot, youthful, bitter-woody
Very plain, in fact unpleasantly sour, grainy. Unpleasant aromas. Very unripe.
Light yellow/greenish. White fruit, sharp, light body, acid, fresh, peppery, spicy, buttery, salty, fat. HWS #15.
Despite the supposedly young age, this bottling from the young distillery already offers good quality. Of course, the extremely fruity distillery character (typical Lowlands?) stands out. I'm curious to see how it goes and how the character changes with longer storage. https://www.aboutwhisky.de/tastingnotes/lindores-abbey-casks-of-lindores-2021/
