Blackadder Statement Ladyburn 43 Year Old 1973 Cask #5678 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 50ml

Blackadder Statement Ladyburn 43 Year Old 1973 is an exceptionally rare single-cask Lowland single malt from the closed Ladyburn Distillery. Distilled on September 28, 1973, the whisky matured for 43 years before being bottled by Blackadder International in October 2016 at 41.9% ABV. Drawn from Cask #5678 and released as Edition No. 17 in Blackadder’s prestigious Statement series, this scarce 50ml miniature offers a rare opportunity to experience whisky from one of Scotland’s shortest-lived malt distilleries.
