Scotch
The earliest record of distilling in Scotland took place at Lindores Abbey in 1494. We know this because of the earliest written reference to Scotch Whisky (or Aqua Vitae, as it was then known) which appears in the Exchequer Roll of the same year. It mentioned Friar John Cor, a Lindores monk, who was commissioned by King James IV to turn eight bolls of malt into Aqua Vitae. In 2017, spirit started flowing again from copper stills at Lindores Abbey Distillery, and the first single malt whisky was released in 2021.
