Relocation enabled the opportunity to expand and take advantage of a plentiful supply of soft Speyside water and the new branch line connecting Banff to the main Inverness to Aberdeen railway. Despite surviving the ups and downs of the whisky industry Banff Distillery closed in 1983and partially demolished in 1985 but most of the rest of Banff Distillery came down during a fire in 1991 and although shells of a few warehouses are still standing Banff is a lost Highland malt whisky distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- pagebreak --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo tasting notes at present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49064599585033,"sku":"413-413","price":97.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0853\/3272\/1929\/files\/banff_1976_300.jpg?v=1737718996","url":"https:\/\/www.thewhiskybarrel.com\/ko\/products\/banff-32-year-old-connoisseurs-choice","provider":"The Whisky Barrel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
