Highland Park news

Bearing in mind whisky is the single most wonderful thing in the world; I am often surprised how little media coverage it receives. Have a Sunday newspaper delivered to your house and you’ll soon drown in supplements devoted to the trivia that dominates everyday life – motoring, sport, travel, work, television...

Where, I ask you, is the single malt Scotch whisky section? Those of us with a thirst for whisky knowledge have to seek it elsewhere. Recently I’ve shared my enthusiasm for Whisky Magazine, the Scotchblog and others with you. Now it is time for Malt Advocate magazine.

Published quarterly, Malt Advocate is the USA’s leading whisky magazine and covers all of the world’s finest whiskies including Scotch (single malt and blends), Irish whiskey, bourbon, American, Japanese and Canadian whisky. It mixes whisky features, columns, product reviews and up-to-date whisky news. Malt Advocate’s contributors include whisky authorities such as Michael Jackson and Gary Regan as well as the magazine’s editor and publisher - John Hansell, a vastly experienced whisky writer.

Malt Advocate is open and honest with its opinions and has always been very positive about the whiskies emanating from Highland Park. For example, our 30-year-old was the magazine’s Import Whisky of the Year in 2005. As John said; “An exemplary Highland Park… Whiskies like this one remind me why I fell in love with whisky in the first place.” – who are we to argue.

Malt Advocate also organises an excellent series of informal whisky tasting events in New York, Chicago and San Francisco called WhiskyFest – the next one of these will be in San Francisco on October 23rd followed by New York on the 30th October – they are great fun and well attended. We would recommend that you take the time to visit www.maltadvocate.com to learn more. Seriously consider a subscription as it educates us all every month.
