William Grant Sons’ Ladyburn Edition Two is a gorgeous 55-year-old whisky that channels the spirit of the 1960s.
Unseen Wonder

SOME OF THE world’s most collectible and coveted whiskies are from distilleries that no longer exist. Known as ‘ghost distilleries’, their legacy lives on in the precious liquid left behind. Once that’s gone, you know it’s time to give up the ghost for good.

From the Lowlands of Scotland is Ladyburn, both a lost gem and holy grail. Considered technologically advanced when it opened in 1966, the small-scale, modern distillery was equipped with stainless steel washbacks for hygiene and efficiency, and an on-site maltings facility for quality control. It produced spirit exclusively from malted barley for a brief nine years until 1975, making it the oldest Lowland whisky on the market and one of the rarest single-malt Scotch bottlings today. There are reportedly fewer than 200 casks left in the world.

Precious bottled art that’s full of life at 55 

This precious liquid can now be yours. William Grant & Sons, the same company behind Glenfiddich and The Balvenie, has released Ladyburn Edition Two. More than mere bottles of whisky, this collection is a snapshot of a moment in time that’s never to be repeated.

The life of a Robb Report editor may sound glamorous, but-actually, we can't argue there. Even so, separating the wheat from the chaff is no small task in the luxury realm, since even the chaff can be mighty impressive. In our 36th annual Best of the Best issue, we again offer our assessment of the past year's most exemplary products, places and experiences. And yes, edition number 37 is already underway.
