About Ladder Hills Pure Malt Whisky

Carn Mor is the high point of the Ladder Hills and a little beyond the start of the "Ladder" path there is an old tumbledown cairn.  In the old days coffins were carried across the hill from Strath Don to Chapletown for burial and it was agreed that the Glenlivet bearers would meet those from Don-Side at the head of the Pass.  Alas the pallbearers from Glenlivet imbibed too much of the whisky from the Ladder Hills and got no further than Ladderfoot.

The Don-Side men were not pleased to have to carry the coffin down the hill.  Harsh words were exchanged and fighting broke out.

The cairn marks the spot where they settled their quarrel again with the aid of a prodigious quantity of whisky from the Ladder Hills.

This special pure malt whisky is a vat of 99% Balvennie and 1% Glenfiddich and the only way to truly enjoy the taste of the Ladder Hills.
