Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold shimmer and a mahogany edge.

Nose

Delicate and inviting, the nose opens with bright citrus zest and ripe pear, riding a cushion of mellow malt. Subtle vanilla and almond mingle with soft oak spice, while a quiet sherried sweetness hints at richness—dried fruit and a whisper of nutmeg.

Palate

Silky and refined, the palate opens with dried apricot, fig and orange zest, balanced by a gentle sherried sweetness. Nutty almond, cocoa and subtle spice drift across the tongue, guided by toasted oak. A delicate oxidative nuance adds depth, finishing with sun-dried fruit, toffee and a softly drying touch of leather.

Finish

Long and refined, the finish drapes dried fruits and cocoa in a gentle sherried sweetness. Nutty almond and soft oak spice linger, carried by a whisper of maritime air, fading to a warm, elegant velvet.

Banff (silent)
Banff was founded in 1824 by James McKilligan & Co. on the Moray coast, originally operating as Mill of Banff before the name became associated with the later Inverboyndie site. James Simpson Jr. built the new distillery in 1863, choosing a position with better access to the Great North of Scotland Railway and water from springs at Fiskaidly Farm. Banff was rebuilt after a major fire in 1877 and later came under Distillers Company Limited ownership in the early 1930s.
