Lindores Abbey Distillery Founder Drew MacKenzie-Smith // Scotch Origins

<p>As whisky fans, we are fascinated by origin stories. Yet they are so hard to prove.</p> <p>Last time I was in Scotland, I went to "The Spiritual Home of Scotch Whisky" Lindores Abbey. So called, because it is here that Friar John Corr produced aqua vitae ("water of life") for King James IV in 1494 - the first record of distilling in the country.</p> <p>Join me as I talk with the founder of the distillery that owes its existence to that tax record written so long ago.</p>
