The first Banff distillery was founded in 1824 by James McKilligan & Co., it changed hands several times and closed in 1862 after ten years of ownership by James Simpson & Son. The following year, James Simpson Jr. built a new distillery using the Banff name, and this survived fires, bombing, and an explosion, before finally closing in 1983.
