| Registration notes: |
Created to celebrate Scotch Whisky, the tartan also pays tribute to the ‘Spiritual home of Scotch’ (Lindores Abbey, Fife), remembering the first written record of whisky production in the Exchequer Rolls of Scotland 1st June 1494. “To Friar John Cor, by order of the King, to make aqua vitae VIII bolls of malt.” — Exchequer Rolls 1494–95, Vol x, p. 487. Considered to be the industry's founding document, it records Brother Cor, a ‘Grey Monk’ of the Tironensian Order, being charged with the commission of making "acqua vitae" by King James IV. The tartan was created to tell this story. Colours and Geometry: Blue is the pure Scottish water used to make the spirit, the three stripes representing the ‘Holy Burn’, the water source used by the Monks of Lindores Abbey; Dark Grey represents John Cor and the robes of the Tironensian Order; Russet Brown represents the traditional oak cask used for maturation, the shade between the brown and ochre alluding also to the copper pot still; Ochre represents the ‘eight bolls of malt’, the shade between the ochre and grey representing the yeast; Yellow and Amber combine to represent the Scotch Whisky itself, with yellow shades in the tartan representing the ancient barley fields surrounding Lindores Abbey in 1494. The Scotch Whisky tartan is designed to harmonise with ‘The Angels' Share’ (tartan reference 11497), the White not only representing the glint in the whisky glass but also the Angels, said to have their own interest in Scotch.
