Ladyburn Distillery
It is reported, that this location is closed!
The Ladyburn distillery was a producer of single malt Scotch whisky that operated between 1966 and 1975. Ladyburn is among the rarest Scotch malt whiskies -due to bottling for only about 10 years. Even harder to find are whiskys from its sister distillery Kininvie. Interestingly both distilleries were founded by WM Grant & Sons and were not traditional malt whisky distilleries with their own sets of buildings and equipment and both distilleries were abandoned again after just a few years.
