Single cask 3352 Banff from Huntleys number one indy bottlers Duncan Taylor. Distilled November 1975 & bottled April 2011. 260 numbered bottles. MAXIMUM 1 BOTTLE PER ADDRESS Banff The Mill of Banff malt whisky distillery was established by Major James Mc Killigan at Mains of Colleonard Farm just south of Banff in 1824 & acquired by James Simpson a local merchant & ship owner in 1852. Mill of Banff Distillery closed in 1863 when Simpson’s son built a new distillery on a site to the west of Banff at Inverboyndie & named it Banff Distillery. Relocation enabled the opportunity to expand & take advantage of a plentiful supply of soft Speyside water & the new branch line connecting Banff to the main Inverness to Aberdeen railway. Despite surviving the ups & downs of the whisky industry Banff Distillery closed in 1983and partially demolished in 1985 but most of the rest of Banff Distillery came down during a fire in 1991 & although shells of a few warehouses are still standing Banff is a lost Highland malt whisky distillery. Nose: Tropical fruits, soft smoke, white chocolate. A touch earthy with pineapple juice. Palate: Syrupy, hint of spice. Lots of fruits – mangos, lychee, sweet peat. A touch of saltiness & grapefruit. Finish: Quite a lot of toffee, faint saltiness & lots of peaches.
