Banff 1966 Gordon & Macphail Old & Rare
This is an amazing 49 year old Banff bottled by Gordon & Macphail as part of their Rare Old series in 2015. Harking from 1966 this is a real gem of a bottle and a very rare survivor given the distilleries troubled history.
Condition
In very good condition. Capsule, label and box are very good examples of this bottle. Any defects are only commensurate with age and as such is a very good bottle for any collection.
Banff Distillery
Some will know Banff as the unluckiest distillery in Scotland. In the general history of spirit distillation, huge world events have seen limitations and full closures imposed on many distilleries. Banff seems to have been the worst hit of them all. The most significant event was during WW2 when a lone Junker Ju88 aircraft bombed one of the warehouses. In 1959 whilst carrying out repairs on the stills, vapour was ignited and destroyed part of the distillery. Just as renovations were completed and production was in full swing, the distillery closed in 1983, by the late 80’s most of the buildings had been demolished with the last warehouse being destroyed by a fire in 1991.
Gordon & Macphail
Gordon & Macphail are one of the oldest whisky bottlers to exist in the world. Bottling over 350 expressions from over 70 distilleries, as well as bottling whisky for numerous large distilleries in Scotland for decades. Bottling whisky for 115 years and now proud owners of the Benromach distillery since 1993. They did nearly purchase Strathisla Distillery from Seagram’s in the 1950’s, but Seagram’s wanted £71,000, whereas Gordon & Macphail only offered £70,000. Imagine.
