The Bruichladdich Links I The Old Course St. Andrews is a limited edition 14-year-old single malt whisky, meticulously crafted at the Bruichladdich distillery on the Isle of Islay, Scotland. This particular expression is part of the iconic Links series, created in collaboration with the famed golf course artist Graeme Baxter. The series pays homage to Scotland's revered passions: whisky and golf, with each release showcasing a painting of a different golf course. This inaugural edition celebrates the 17th hole of the legendary Old Course at St. Andrews. Matured in refill Spanish Oak casks, this whisky presents a perfect harmony of flavors, bottled at 46% ABV. The Bruichladdich distillery, originally founded by the Harvey brothers in 1881, experienced a period of closure in 1995 but was revitalized in 2001 by Murray McDavid and Master Distiller Jim McEwan. Since its revival, the distillery has produced various acclaimed expressions, including the medium-peated Port Charlotte and the heavily-peated Octomore. The distillery was acquired by the French drinks conglomerate Remy Cointreau in 2012, further cementing its legacy in the whisky world. With only 12,000 bottles available, this release offers whisky enthusiasts a unique opportunity to savor a piece of Islay's rich heritage while appreciating the artistry of golf course painting.
The Bruichladdich Links series is unique because it combines the craftsmanship of whisky making with the artistry of golf course painting. Each release in the series features a painting of a famous golf course by renowned artist Graeme Baxter, celebrating Scotland's dual passions for whisky and golf.
