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.

New releases from Bruichladdich
Bruichladdich Links – Carnoustie
Bruichladdich Links is a series of limited edition bottlings chosen by whisky guru Jim McEwan, celebrating Scotland’s two principle passions: Golf and Whisky.
A links course is natural, un-manicured, challenging where the weather and coastal location exert a strong influence. These are strong associations with Bruichladdich
The latest in the Bruichladdich Links series features the Carnoustie links course,
home of the 2007 British Open championship played on a public links course.
Located 6 miles east of Dundee at the mouth of the Firth of Tay, golf has been played over Carnoustie’s North Sea coast links since 1527
The 6th in the Bruichladdich Links series features Graeme Baxter’s panoramic painting of the par 4 15th hole, where the infamous Barry Burn flows.
Carnoustie’s final three holes are recognized as golf’s toughest finishing stretch as Jean Van de Velde found out when he discovering the burn cost him the 1999 championship.
Matured for 14years in Quercus Alba oak Bourbon casks we gave it an additional cask evolution in exquisite French Allier oak from possible the finest chateau in the world.
To date, all the Links series have been bottled deliberately at 14 years providing an interesting comparison of cask types and ACE influences.
Naturally bottled on Islay with out chill-filtration, colouring-free, and reduced from cask to bottling strength with the legendary Islay spring water.
This bottling is limited to a worldwide release of 12,000 numbered bottles. Previous releases are St. Andrews, Augusta, Turnberry, Troon, and Hoylake.

Bruichladdich Links “K Club”
The 7th in the Links series of limited release Bruichladdich bottlings is now available
Bruichladdich Links is a series of limited edition single malts created by whisky guru Jim McEwan, celebrating Scotland’s two principle passions: Golf and Whisky.
The K Club is considered to be Ireland’s finest course, located outside the village of Straffan in Kildare, 15 miles south west of Dublin.
Designed by Arnold Palmer, the par 5, 16th hole is featured in a painting by leading golf course artist Graeme Baxter.
The whisky was matured for 14 years in Quercus Alba Bourbon casks with additional cask evolution (ACE) in Guigal's French casks from Cotes Rotie and Hermitage.
“To date, all the Links series have been bottled deliberately at the same age to provide an intriguing comparison of the various ACE influences - cask types and oak origins.”
The whisky is naturally bottled on Islay with out chill-filtration, colouring-free, and reduced from cask to bottling strength of 46% with the legendary Islay spring water.
This bottling is limited to a worldwide release of 12,000 numbered bottles. Previous releases are St. Andrews, Augusta, Turnberry, Troon, Hoylake and Carnoustie.
