One of the most famous British designers of his day, Hicks is credited for revolutionising interior design in the sixties and seventies, breaking away from traditional English style with his bold geographic prints, adventurous colour combinations and eclectic mix of antique and contemporary furnishings. He is best known and remembered for his mastery of colour and patterns.
An exceptionally indulgent whisky, reflecting over five and a half decades maturing in a single Sherry butt. Each sip adds new layers of complexity, harmonising intense sweetness and enthralling bitter accents with underlying oak. An unforgettable experience.
David Hicks’s bold and disruptive designs perfectly embody the incredible creativity at the core of the sixties decade. For this third and last edition in the Ladyburn 1966 foundation triptych, the rare 56-year-old single malt is adorned with eleven evocative photographs of some of Hicks’s most iconic sixties interiors, that have all now been lost to history. Each is paired with one of the designer's celebrated patterns in his vibrant, composite style. The bold scarlet frame – Hicks’s signature colour – surrounds each collaged image providing a unifying thread across the collection.
A disruptive and pioneering attitude connects both David Hicks and Ladyburn distillery. Ladyburn
Edition Three is the celebration of these two incredible legacies.
“The Ladyburn distillery is widely regarded as being ahead of its time both in terms of design and technology. The Ladyburn foundation triptych celebrates a trailblazing distillery and the avant-garde nature of some of Britain’s creative legends, both as relevant and inspiring today as they were in the Sixties.”
