Lindores Aqua Vitae

Lindores Abbey Distillery, located in Newburgh, Fife, Scotland, is situated directly opposite the historic Lindores Abbey.Established in 2017, the distillery is committed to reviving the ancient art of whisky-making on the very grounds where, in 1494, Brother John Cor was commissioned by King James IV to produce "aqua vitae" from eight bolls of malt. While their single malt whisky matures, the distillery produces Aqua Vitae, a botanical spirit infused with locally sourced herbs and spices, honouring the legacy of Scotland's earliest recorded distillation.

Lindores Abbey Aqua Vitae is distilled in copper pot stills and infused with a blend of spices and herbs, including cleavers and sweet cicely, which are cultivated in the distillery's gardens. The result is a spirit that captures the essence of the land and its history. Aqua Vitae is versatile, enjoyed neat, over ice, or as a base for cocktails, offering a taste of Scotland's rich distilling heritage.
