This single-cask bottling of a 40-year-old Ladyburn single malt was produced by the independent bottler Signatory Vintage as part of its Cask Strength Collection, under the name ‘Rare Ayrshire’. The whisky was distilled in 1975, matured in an ex-bourbon cask and bottled at cask strength in 2015 in a run of 166 individually numbered bottles.
Ladyburn was a distillery on the grounds of the Girvan Distillery in South Ayrshire, Lowlands, which was built in 1963 by William Grant & Sons Ltd. Malt whisky was produced there between 1966 and 1975, but the distillery was demolished in 1976.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
