Bottlings

Banff 1975/2010 A.D. Rattray

A bit lacklustre at the beginning, some drops of water bring out a nice set of flavours. But this is not a bargain dram. – Rating: 85/100

Banff 24.12.1974/ 10.2009 Jack Wiebers

February 22, 2010

A great old whisky, creamy and fruity with a big nose backed by a big palate. The gentle smoke blends in perfectly. – Score: 91/100
