Producer history Ladyburn

Ladyburn was established as a malt whisky unit within the Girvan complex, owned by William Grant & Sons. Recorded production took place between the 1960s and the mid-1970s; the short production life and subsequent dismantling turned its name into one of the most sought-after ghost distilleries among enthusiasts and independent bottlers.

Production philosophy

Not publicly available in extended form; the brand today is associated with the historic stocks of single malt produced during its brief period of activity and with the collectible value of the releases.
