Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep, dark amber with burnished copper and mahogany undertones, touched by a ruby glow.

Nose

Old wood and time-worn oak rise with stewed apples, finished by a gentle cedar lift—an inviting, warm nose that hints at decades spent in the cask.

Palate

Bright and lively on the palate, with wood spice layering over dry toffee and molasses. A bitter mid-palate sharpens the sweetness, while the finish lingers longer than expected, dry, refined and threaded with subtle oak.

Finish

Dry and surprisingly long, the finish carries warm wood spice and oak, with lingering notes of toffee and molasses and a subtle bitter edge that slowly fades.

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.
