Jericho/ Benachie Distillery – 1824 – 1913
Tucked away in a valley near the town of Insch are the remains of the Jericho Distillery, which lived and thrived for eighty years in a secluded fold in the Aberdeenshire hills. Protected from the harshest Northern Scottish elements, a traveller would be hard pressed to find this sunken, remote distillery hidden in the wild landscape. The famed whisky journalist Alfred Barnard described his journey from Glendronach to Benachie, as Jericho was known after 1884, as ‘one of the most bleak and loneliest we have traversed.’
William Smith established the distillery in 1822, in a location that was perfect for small scale whisky production. The area was famed for barley production and the surrounding hills blessed with copious amounts of peat. The nearby Jordan Burn supplied the distillery with a steady stream of clear water. Its remote location helped the distillery remain concealed and difficult for the excise-men to monitor before distillation became legal. While the accompanying farm provided the main source of income, Smith had everything he needed to develop a successful pre-industrial farm distillery.
In the last century, almost one hundred of Scotland’s malt whisky distilleries have been closed or destroyed.
This accounts for nearly half of all distilleries that have ever existed in Scotland. Global economic downturn, over-production, world wars and prohibition have all contributed to the loss of so many distilleries.
As a result of all of these factors, many unique and venerable brands have been lost to the world.
