Distillery was demolished in 1983. In 1991 the remaining building of the distillery burned in a fire. The distillery was built on the west side of Banff Bay in Inverboyndie, a small village about a mile west of the town of Banff itself. Banff distillery used triple distillation (as opposed to the customary double distillation) until 1924. Exactly one hundred years after the first Banff distillery was founded they removed the intermediate spirit stills.
