Product Information

And the history at Lindores isn’t just about whisky, the Abbey has a real place in many tales of Scotland’s past. Lindores Abbey was a meeting place for Knights and friends of Robert the Bruce, it was a place Scottish princes and kings toured to, and it gave shelter as some of the earliest Acts of Parliament were signed.

Our first stop is only a short drive outside Edinburgh - the magnificent Forth bridges at South Queensferry. There has been a crossing here since the 11th century when Queen Margaret established a ferry service to transport pilgrims from Edinburgh to Dunfermline Abbey and St Andrews. Upon opening in 1890 the Forth Rail Bridge was the largest steel structure in the world and is one of the major engineering achievements of the Victorian age. The Forth Road Bridge was opened in 1964 and the new Queensferry Crossing was built alongside in 2017.When it comes to accommodation in Scotland, there's a fantastic choice of amazing stays from luxury hotels to glamping getaways. Another young distillery with a connection to the famous Haig’s brand is Kingsbarns Distillery. Brother and sister William and Isabella Wemyss launched their single malt Scotch whisky in 2014, distilling their new offering on familial Wemyss land that had historically been used by Haig’s. We cross the River Forth into the ancient Kingdom of Fife and skirt famous Loch Leven where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned on an island between 1567-8 prior to her dramatic escape and bloody execution.

The St Andrews Whisky Company is the brainchild of Peter Wood, founder of the St Andrews Wine Company. He saw several companies who were not based in his home town capitalise on the international reputation of St Andrews, and more often than not, they were, at best, a mediocre drink. He wanted to offer a range of whiskies where the quality of the liquid in the bottle was the only important thing, and the 'branding' was simple and elegant, without a reference to golf! Get ready to embark on an unforgettable golfing journey as we explore the top reasons why you should play golf in Ireland. Lindores also offers aqua vitae, which differs from the whisky we know today. Aqua vitae is distilled in pot stills before being infused with a blend of spices and herbs, including cleavers, lemon verbena, Douglas fir and sweet cicely. All of these ingredients are grown in the grounds of Lindores. bottle : "University of St Andrews / Open / Championship / 1995 / Distilled & Bottled by Springbank Distillery for / The / Quaich Society / Bottle No. 1 of 1,000 / Distilled June 1979 / Bottled Spring 1995 / Vintage Single / Cambeltown / Malt Whisky / 70cl / 46% vol" (label) Discover the world-renowned British Open Championships in this blog piece, exploring its past venues, champions and more...Discover wonderful wildlife tours to book and experience in Scotland, including bird watching safaris, whale watching, farm tours and much more!

Here in St Andrews, there are plenty of distilleries on our doorstep that you can take a trip to. Many of these offer the chance to take a tour, where you can learn more about the whisky distilling process and, of course, get the chance to taste the end product. Travel further afield into the Highlands and you’ll find the only distillery in Angus County, home to Glencadam Whisky. Having mastered the dual crafts of distilling and patience, Glencadam offers Single Malt Whiskies that have been aged from 10 to 25 years. Made from just three ingredients – malted barley, Highland spring water, and yeast – all Glencadam whiskies are bottled at 46% volume, which prevents the finished product from looking cloudy when cooled. The smooth, caramel colour of the final product is all natural.
