Lindores Distillery is possibly one of the most interesting distilleries in Scotland. The center itself is fairly new (it opened in 2017), but it’s situated on the site where whisky first came into being.Dating all the way back to 1494, it’s here, on this old farm/monastery where King James 4th placed a tax on the spirit and in doing so, officially created whisky.The birthplace of whisky and a pilgrimage for whisky lovers! The perfect start to your whisky tour.During peak times, this distillery tour may be unavailable. We'll offer an alternative distillery tour and confirm with you before booking.
