ABV: 40%

Score: 94 Points

Ladyburn Aged 41 Years. Image courtesy William Grant & Sons. One of the rarest single malts around from a distillery that existed for just nine years before it closed in 1975, this is one of the few official bottlings of Ladyburn from William Grant & Sons.

The nose is soft and smooth with muted spices, oak, hints of dried fruits, honey, and vanilla. The taste starts off fruity and intense with fresh peaches, pears, and tart green apples. Spicy touches of allspice and ginger add balance, along with oak, vanilla, and honey notes that create a nice complexity after the initial fruity burst dies down. The finish is long and smooth with subtle spices and a touch of tree fruits. Excellent! (February, 2015)
