Banff (silent)
Banff was founded in 1824 by James McKilligan & Co. on the Moray coast, originally operating as Mill of Banff before the name became associated with the later Inverboyndie site. James Simpson Jr. built the new distillery in 1863, choosing a position with better access to the Great North of Scotland Railway and water from springs at Fiskaidly Farm. Banff was rebuilt after a major fire in 1877 and later came under Distillers Company Limited ownership in the early 1930s.
