Comments about Ladyburn
 Ladyburn
was a modern distillery which was built in 1966 within the
Girvan grain distillery complex. It was a Lowland partner
to the Highland Glenfiddich
and both distilleries contributed to William Grant's blended
whiskies. However, unlike Glenfiddich, Ladyburn was never
intended for consumption as a single malt. There have been
independent bottlings of Ladyburn, but it's rare and difficult
to find since the distillery closed just a  few
years after it was opened. The Girvan grain distillery is
still in operation.
Ladyburn's house style has been described as perfumed and
dry, and best drunk as an aperitif.

LADYBURN
1973
VINTAGE SINGLE CASK |
According
to the producers, this 27 year old is the first ever single cask
bottling from the Ladyburn distillery. Limited edition of 3000
bottles, our stock is from cask number 1591.
Nose: A perfect balance of delicate fragrant honey with
a suggestion of oak.
Taste:
Initially, beautifully soft on the palate, a mellow rounded
malt hinting at sweet and vanilla notes. The finish is classic
dry oak, typical of the finest Lowland malt.
Comments:
This vintage cask of Ladyburn single malt is unique in character,
no two casks are ever the same. It has matured for 27 years
in a bourbon wood cask that lends its own special attributes
to the whisky.
Distillery's Tasting Notes |

The Ladyburn
Distillery was built by William Grant & Sons Ltd in 1966.
Built within the Girvan grain distillery, its purpose was
to contribute to Grant's blended whiskies. Situated about
a mile from the Ayrshire coast, Ladyburn's location was considered
ideal. The water source was good, labour was available and
there were good communications via sea and rail. Ladyburn
was also close to the blending halls of Central Scotland.
The distillery was very compact and one person could control
the entire process. By the mid 1970s, Ladyburn distillery
was closed.
