Ladyburn is pricey because the distillery only opened in '66 and was closed some time in 1975 IIRC. Grant used it primarily for blended whiskies. Used to be you could only buy it unblended through Mr. Cadenhead's shop on the Canongate (one of the premier attractions of Edinburgh), but I don't recognize the label on that bottle.

The reviewers have trashed Ladyburn anyhow.
To wit. As one reviewer notes, "Sad to say, its greatest appeal is as a collector's item."
Price is absolutely no guide to quality in a single malt.
