product Details

Banff 1966 Premier Malts 36 Year Old

A distillery almost as synonymous with fire as it is with whisky, Banff experienced four separate blazes during its chequered history, including a bombing by the Luftwaffe in 1941. The distillery operated until 1983 when it was closed by DCL (now Diageo) after a downturn in the market lead to an oversupply. Unsurprisingly, it caught fire in the process of being dismantled and has never re-opened. Its malt was predominantly reserved for blending in its time, but it has contributed to some particularly sought after independent releases over the years.

This was distilled in November 1966 and matured in cask #3440. Bottled in April 2003 by Malcolm Pride Limited and imported to Germany by Jack Wiebers Whisky World.
