Members' comments ""Not enough malt flavour tyo make it worthwhile". "Rough and potent". "By name and by nature a 'lady-burner'". "It appears the sherry cask was not quite empty before the Ladyburn was encasked. I suspect some grain in this". "Low key malt flavour with far too much alcohol". "The final diminutive malt is outlasted by the alcohol, and doesn't even linger. Dilution only emasculates the residual malt while it reduces the alcohol considerably". "Not enough character to invite serious interest".
