Banff 1980 Chieftain’s Choice 18 Year Old

From the closed Banff distillery, this 18-year-old expression, bottled by Chieftain’s Choice in 1998, offers a rare glimpse into a lost Speyside character. Banff whiskies were known for a distinctive oily sweetness and this 1980 vintage delivers on that promise, showcasing notes of ripe orchard fruits and gentle spice. Expect a full-bodied dram with a warming finish, hinting at honeyed malt and a subtle smokiness – a testament to traditional Highland distillation. This is a captivating whisky representing a significant piece of Scottish distilling history, originating from the heart of Banffshire.
