Banff 1976 Cask #2887, The Recollection Series #2
The Tasting Notes
Fragrant festive spices intertwine with clove studded orange and demerara sugar. Subtle toffee notes give way to prunes and baked apple.
Rich stewed fruit flavours complement cinnamon and ginger with a hint of black pepper. Toasted hazelnuts develop alongside marzipan and mature oak.
Medium-bodied with lingering citrus and nuts.
