✦ Neatly Summary

Banff 36 Year Old 1975 - Old and Rare (Douglas Laing) is a 36-year-old single malt from Banff (Speyside, Scotland), bottled at 41.8% ABV. Expect oaky, sweet and gentle spice character — old wood, leathery, tobacco, malt extract. An approachable dram, ideal for newcomers and casual sippers. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

Banff's 36-year-old from November 1975, aged in a single refill hogshead and bottled in June 2012 for Douglas Laing's Old and Rare Platinum Selection, captures this now-closed Speyside distillery in its mature complexity. Three-and-a-half decades in refill wood would have concentrated the malt's character while allowing natural aging processes to develop dried fruit, subtle spice, and polished oak structure without overwhelming wood influence. At 153 bottles, this represents a fleeting opportunity to experience Banff's character through a single cask. A prized bottling for collectors of closed distilleries and old Speyside expressions.
