Scotland, Lowlands. Distillery operational. Owner: William Grant & Sons Ltd

Known also under the name Ayrshire for its independent bottlings, Ladyburn is one of the various “distilleries” which was set up within a grain spirit production unit in the 1960s (1966 in this case) before being quickly closed (1975) due to the difficult economic climate. From a technical standpoint, Ladyburn was therefore a Lowland single malt produced using double distillation (two pairs of pot stills set up in Girvan), whose production was fated to supply the Grant's blend of the family-owned group William Grant & Sons in order to provide relief to the Glenfiddich and Balvenie distilleries. A few vintage single cask expressions exist, including the 1973 and 1974.

Girvan 25 Year Old is a grain whisky produced by the distillery owned by the William Grant & Sons group. Grain whiskies are rarely bottled and instead more typically used for blends. A limited edition of 500 bottles.
