Jericho Distillery

- 1824-1913 -

Jericho Distillery was founded in 1822 by William Smith, a deeply religious farmer and the brother of a preacher from the nearby Parish of Oyne. Production started quickly, and by November 1824 ‘Whisky from Jericho Distillery’was advertised for sale in Aberdeen.

The Distillery wa smothballed in 2013 due to competitiveness and pricing, and when William Callander the last master distiller at Jericho retired in 1913, his son and heir felt there was little point in continuing.

As the Second World War dawned, a dance was held to celebrate a wedding in the old malt barns of Benachie. An old cask of Benachie was pulled out, probably the last in existence. The wedding guests danced the night away, emptying the cask in the process. It was assumed that they would be the last people to taste the delicious, sherry-matured whisky that made first Jericho then later Benachie so famous.

Until now.....
