1966 vintage whiskies
Bunnahabhain 1966
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.10%
7
The blood-orange hue suggests that this Bunnahabhain will in all senses be more colourful than the gentle 12 Years Old we normally encounter. Sun-dried whisky?
Auchentoshan 1966, 31 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.80%
8
A fine whisky, but does something as fresh and soft benefit from quite so much ageing?
Banff 1966, 31 Years Old, Old Malt Cask
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
7
Banff was never a classic, but it is an evocatively old-fashioned Highland malt, and it has stood up reasonably well to great age.
Bruichladdich Legacy 1966 Vintage
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.60%
8
An especially characterful 'laddie from its sunny hue and lean, firm body to its touch of tartness.
Gordon & MacPhail Balblair 1966
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7
The nose is rich and harmonious. The palate not so lavish, somewhat dulled by wood dominating. It would have shown better at a higher strength.
Kingsbury Tamdhu 1966
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8
A welcome bottling of this neglected malt, and an interesting example.
Mackillop's Choice Tomintoul 1966
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.50%
7
Delicate, and definitely Speyside, but not quite as elegant as some expressions I have tasted.
