Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
probably not as smoky as the G&M but there is some smoke. Also much grassier, with big notes of marzipan and fresh almonds as well as smoked tea (lapsang souchong). Notes of wood varnish, old cupboard, carpenter’s workshop (great oakiness). Add to that a rather splendid fruitiness (cider apples just like in the G&M, quinces…) and you get a superb Banff. I must say I start to understand better our friends who are true Banff aficionados, like MM’s Michel
restaurant Palate
similar to the G&M but even more ‘Banffesque’, with loads of spices and yes, these heavy notes of mustard. Un-sugared coffee. Excellent oakiness (apple peel, almond skin) and something slightly perfumy in the background (orange blossom water)
timer Finish
long, peppery and mustardy, with that oriental background (baklavas). Truly excellent and anything but boring. 90 points. Banff 30 yo 1975/2006 (42.2%, Duncan Taylor Rarest of the Rare, cask #3416)
