Whisky Facts for Whisky Lovers
A few days ago I met with Drew Mackenzie Smith the Owner of the Lindores Abbey, where it is said a monk became famous for being named on the oldest recording for whisky in Scotland in the Scottish exchequer roll of Edinburgh: “eight bolls of malt for Friar John Cor wherewith to make Aquavitea” was assigned to in 1494. I have lived around Fife a large part of my life (20 plus years) and never took the time to go there, well now I have been! I didnt have time to visit the ruins but had a great chat with Drew about whisky history, that was lots of fun! There are a number of ruins around that area – one could be mislead by thinking that the ruins of the Abbey are located in Lindores, they are in fact in Newburgh only a few miles from Lindores.
Well it was intersting for me, runing the Road Hole Bar in the home of golf, to hear whisky facts from the home of whisky!
Hope you enjoy the updates and intersting whisky facts!
