Resently hard to find as a single malt due to its owner D.C.L. (Distillers Company Limited) closed the distillery in 1983. From www.Whiskyweb.com : One of the first distilleries located to take advantage of the railways. On Saturday, 16th August, 1941, a single German plane machine-gunned and bombed No 12 Warehouse. Exploding casks flew through the air and a local newspaper reported, ".f . . thousands of gallons of whisky were lost, either burning or running to waste over the land . . . even farm animals became intoxicated" Cows were not milked because they could not be got to their feet. Banff was known locally as "Inverboyndie distillery" |
