Lindores Abbey Aqua Vitae Botanical Malt Spirit (700ml)

The earliest Aqua Vitae was made at Lindores Abbey around 1494. The current distillery team have gone to some lengths to recreate the recipe, re-imagining it as a versatile, contemporary spirit. Made on-site using locally grown green herbs such as Douglas fir, cleavers, sweet cicely as well as spices and dried fruits, the botanicals are blended with pot distilled spirit resulting in a quasi-gin-styled elixir that makes delicious mixed drinks. To get you started, try 50ml over ice in a Highball glass, topped with Ginger Ale, and garnish with a twist of orange. As it was when first conceived, the product is entirely natural, with no added sugars. 40% Alc./Vol.
