A better Banff but still not that great

Nose

Sweet, dried fruits, but a hint of spicyness & less intense nose despite having a higher ABV, slightly creamy, perhaps bananas

Body

Still bitter but not as oaky, more complex notes than the 40%, definitely old sherry notes, not sweet at all

Finish

Still a medium dry finish, not spicy but more bitter, perhaps a stronger cask influence & more time spent in oak
