ROYAL SALUTE CELEBRATES THE SPORT OF KINGS WITH LIMITED EDITION POLO BOTTLE
Royal Salute, the world’s leading luxury Scotch whisky, is launching its first-ever World Polo Limited Edition in celebration of its shared values and intrinsic links with polo, the ‘sport of kings’.
The new offering, which contains a special batch of the legendary Royal Salute 21 Year Old, is expected to be highly sought-after by whisky collectors and connoisseurs around the world when it launches in markets and global travel retail from December.
The striking new bottle celebrates the international footprint of polo, featuring the names and locations of various Royal Salute World Polo events, including: The Royal Salute Polo Cup in Jeju, Korea; The Maharaja of Jodhpur Golden Jubilee Cup in Jodphur, India; The Royal Salute China Open in Bejing, China; and The Royal Salute Jubilee Cup in Greenwich, USA. A white “sporting stripe” emblazoned on the front of the gift box is an instantly recognisable design cue that further highlights the expression’s sporting links and provides strong on-shelf presence.
Neil Macdonald, Royal Salute Global Brand Director comments: “With the expansion of the Royal Salute World Polo Series and with Facundo Pieres, the world’s No.1 polo player joining the team as our global brand ambassador, Royal Salute’s links with polo are now stronger than ever. For that reason, we felt it was extremely fitting for us to mark Royal Salute’s relationship with this prestigious sport by launching this special Limited Edition.”
“We’re delighted to be able to offer Royal Salute fans across the world the opportunity to own this unique new batch of our prestigious 21 Year Old, which our Master Blender, Colin Scott, has crafted with the utmost care. We believe this new expression will be a real collectors’ item and will appeal to our loyal fans’ passionate connection to both the brand and its polo associations. It is a distinctive whisky that befits the traditions and values of Royal Salute; combining age and craftsmanship to create a Scotch whisky of finesse and rich complexity. These factors combined are guaranteed to create great interest across the globe this Christmas.”
Colin Scott, Master Blender for Royal Salute, continues: “Creating this whisky has been a great honour. It has immeasurable depth with rich aromas and scents of apples, ripe plums and creamy toffee with a hint of spiciness and a long, luxurious finish. It’s an exquisite taste, for an exquisite sport – a like-minded union with shared values.”
Royal Salute World Polo Limited Edition will be rolled out globally from December 2013 with a RRP of 150 $USD.

Whisky Live Toronto 2013 Leaves Sweet Aftertaste
Thursday, November 21st, 2013 (Toronto) – The eighth annual Whisky Live in Toronto was a great success, with an increase in the number of visitors enjoying the event at its new location at The Westin Harbour Castle. This distinguished tasting event included a flavorful dinner buffet, live musical entertainment, educational master classes and the exclusive opportunity to sample a variety of international and local whiskies.
With more than thirty industry exhibitors, 1,400 consumers, press and industry guests sampled from more than 125 different expressions and gained an understanding of the whisky lifestyle. Via Allegro Restaurant treated guests to whisky and food pairings, demonstrating which whiskies are best paired with cheese and which are tastiest with chocolate. At their display, The Balvenie gave visitors the opportunity to experience first-hand what goes into making a whisky from grains to barrel, while master classes sold out with people interested in cultivating their whisky knowledge.
This year’s proudest moment was when Show Producer Dave Sweet presented a $2,000 cheque to Wounded Warriors Canada raised from the proceeds of admission tickets. Since its inception in 2006, Wounded Warriors has become the beneficiary of the nation’s empathy towards Canadian soldiers. Be it corporations, celebrities or everyday citizens, Wounded Warriors is a success story borne out of a horrible tragedy that continues to support those in need.
“The Canadian whisky industry is a proud supporter of the Wounded Warriors endeavor,” says Sweet. “Our modest contribution to this worthy cause is a result of both the attendees and all of the brands supporting and participating in Whisky Live to make this possible. We look forward to expanding our support and partnership with Wounded Warriors next year.”
This year’s event enjoyed sponsorships and partnerships with Whisky Magazine, The National Post, Whiskey Water, Zenan Glass, Celtic Life International Magazine and Scotland Magazine, in making it the largest Whisky Live Toronto in several years. Whisky Live Toronto 2014 is expanding the hall to accommodate the anticipated visitor growth and additional booths. It returns to Toronto at the Westin’s sister property, the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel downtown on October 18, 2014.

Elliott Erwitt’s Great Scottish Adventure: The World’s Most Influential Living Photographer[1]
Puts the Focus on the Heartland of The Macallan
For the fourth edition of its award-winning Masters of Photography series, The Macallan – the world’s most precious single malt whisky – has commissioned the most influential living photographer[2], Elliott Erwitt to capture the spirit of its heartland in his ‘Great Scottish Adventure’. The Masters of Photography: Elliott Erwitt Edition sees Erwitt interpret the unique richness and depth of Scottish character through his shrewd observational skill and subtle humorous style.
The Masters of Photography: Elliott Erwitt Edition is The Macallan’s most extensive, and ambitious, to date with 58 unique single cask whiskies being paired with a different signed 11” x 14” Elliott Erwitt print captured during his Scottish adventure. Only 35 of each of the exclusive pairings are available, making a complete global release of 2,030. The Elliott Erwitt Edition comprises a bespoke photo-archival book featuring a total of 158 images, shot by Elliott during the process, with a 35/37.5cl handmade glass flask containing a single cask malt whisky concealed within its pages.
Erwitt’s rarefied ability to instinctively visualise and capture an insightful image has resulted in some of the most iconic and powerful photographs of our time, including the incredibly poignant portrait of Jackie Kennedy at her husband’s funeral, and intimate shots of Marilyn Monroe on the set of The Misfits.
Renowned for his mastery of the ‘decisive moment’ – that creative instant when subjects appear before the camera in surprising and illuminating ways – Elliott Erwitt, has now turned his lens on Scotland. Shot against dramatically different backdrops in the Highlands and Islands, Glasgow and Edinburgh, Erwitt captures the beauty of the perfect moment. His collection showcases the traditions and eccentricities of the Scottish people, as well as, his most loved subjects – dogs.
“Photography is an art of observation – it’s about creating something extraordinary out of the ordinary. You choose a frame and then wait until the right time for something magical to come along and fill it. I realised while working on this project that this is exactly the way Bob, the Whisky Maker, works when creating The Macallan. He envisages how he wants a particular whisky to taste, selects the perfect cask to create it, and then he waits! Timing is everything,” comments Elliott Erwitt.
This collection is completely unique in terms of its scale and breadth of single cask malt Scotch whiskies, each of which has been personally selected by Whisky Maker Bob Dalgarno to interpret the essence of its corresponding photograph.
“The incredible richness and depth of character found in every Macallan whisky lends itself perfectly to this year’s Masters of Photography offering. Selecting 58 individual single cask malt whiskies to bring to life Elliott’s 58 favourite images of his Great Scottish Adventure was wonderfully challenging – tasting the image through the whisky and the whisky through the image on such an unprecedented scale was inspiring,” remarks Bob Dalgarno, Whisky Maker, The Macallan.
The Macallan Masters of Photography series features exclusive collaborations with legendary photographers. Previous editions were authored by Rankin, Albert Watson and Annie Leibovitz.
Ken Grier, Director of Malts, The Edrington Group, says: “The creative excellence showcased by Masters of Photography has become synonymous with The Macallan. Working with Elliott Erwitt, the world’s most influential living photographer[3] has been both an honour and personal highlight. Elliott is legendary in the world of photography and is one of my all-time favourite photographers. With his signature playfulness and witty juxtapositions, we couldn’t think of anyone better to capture the quirkiness of Scottish character and heartland of The Macallan. We’re proud that Elliott is now one of our Masters of Photography. His mastery of capturing the ‘decisive moment’ parallels wonderfully with the art of whisky making, making him an obvious choice for the brand.”
The Masters of Photography: Elliott Erwitt Edition is available in the UK from specialist whisky retailers, priced at £1,000.
Elliott Erwitt’s ‘Great Scottish Adventure’ Exhibition will be open for public viewing for one day on Tuesday 19 November, 12pm – 7pm, Leica Studio-S, 27 Bruton Place, Mayfair, London, W1J 6NQ.

NOTES
ABOUT THE MACALLAN
Founded in 1824 in the heart of Speyside, The Macallan was one of the first distilleries in Scotland to be legally licensed. Since then it has built a reputation as one of the world’s leading single malt whiskies. The creation of The Macallan draws on the vital contributing influences of Spain, North America and Scotland, and of their respective natural raw materials, combined with traditional methods and craftsmanship. From its founding, through the subsequent owners of The Macallan distillery in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and into the present century, The Macallan has been recognised for its outstanding quality above all else.
THE MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY
The Elliott Erwitt Edition is the fourth in the award-winning The Macallan Masters of Photography series. The previous three editions were authored by Rankin, Albert Watson and Annie Leibovitz. These unique limited edition collections perfectly conjoin the art of whisky making with the artists interpretation of the world of The Macallan as seen through their photographers eye.
ELLIOTT ERWITT
Elliott Erwitt was born in Paris to Russian émigré parents on 26th July 1928. His formative years were spent in Milan. At the age of 10 his family moved back to Paris, only to immigrate to New York a year later, before transferring to Los Angeles in 1941. While attending Hollywood High School he worked in a commercial darkroom processing “signed” prints for fans of movie stars.
In 1948 by good fortune while looking for work on exploratory trips to New York City, Erwitt met Edward Steichen, Robert Capa and Roy Stryker who liked his photographs and took a personal guiding interest becoming significant mentors. The following year he returned to Europe travelling and photographing in Italy and France thus marking the start of his professional career. Drafted in to the US Army in 1951 he continued taking photographs for various publications totally apart from his military duties while stationed in New Jersey, Germany and France.
In 1953 freshly decommissioned from military service, Erwitt was invited to join Magnum Photos as a member by its founder Capa. In 1968 he became President of the prestigious agency for three terms. To date he continues to be one of the leading figures in the competitive field of photography. His journalistic essays, illustrations, and advertisements have been featured in publications around the world for over half a century. While continuing his work as a photographer, Erwitt began making films in the ’70s. His documentaries include BEAUTY KNOWS NO PAIN (1971), RED WHITE AND BLUE GRASS (1973) and the awarded THE GLASSMAKERS OF HERAT (1979). He also produced 17 comedies and special satire programs for Home Box Office in the ’80s.
While actively working for magazine, industrial and advertising clients Erwitt devotes all his spare time toward creating books and exhibitions of his work. To date he is the author of nearly 30 photography books including: Photographs and Anti-photographs (1972), Son of Bitch (1974), To the Dogs (1992), Between the Sexes (1994), Museum Watching (1998), Snaps (2001), Elliott Erwitt’s Handbook (2002), Woof (2005), Personal Best (2006), Unseen (2007), Elliott Erwitt’s Dogs (2008), The Art of André S. Solidor (2009), Elliott Erwitt’s Paris (2010), Sequentially Yours (2011), Forthcoming: Elliott Erwitt’s Kolor.

This year has seen some exciting new limited releases from Jack Daniel’s. All of these fantastic bottlings are now available on whiskyshop.com Free W Club membership and UK delivery with every purchase!
The Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select was undoubtedly one of the quickest selling and most sought after products this year. It’s now back in stock and available to buy from whiskyshop.com
Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select is bottled at 90 proof and gains its rich character from specially crafted “Sinatra Barrels” mingled with our classic Tennessee Whiskey. The Sinatra Barrels are handcrafted with the addition of deep grooves on the inside of the barrel staves. This exposes the whiskey to extra layers of oak which imparts a rich amber color, bold character and a pleasant smokiness, followed by an incredibly smooth vanilla finish.
Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller #1 is the first in a new limited edition series from the makers of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey. The package highlights the “Golden Age of Jack Daniel” when Mr. Jack’s recipe and quality craftsmanship practices were born. Gold foil accents highlight the label and neck band. The side labels tell the story of how the legend was born and how Mr. Jack’s philosophy of “Every Day We Make It, We’ll Make It The Best We Can” still holds true today.
Each bottle comes in a gift carton that mirrors the label’s gold foil accents and highlights the legendary man through an elegant and authentic image.
The Jack Daniel’s Double Gold Medal limited edition gift pack has been created to commemorate these two historic Gold Medals. It contains a special matt black 1-litre bottle of Old No.7 along with two very stylish tumblers decorated with the medals won in 1914 and 1915.

Why do fools fall in love?
Cask No. 29.139 $135
Islay
Here we go – coal tar soap, beach bonfire out of driftwood, charcoal, cinders, black scorched toast and roast pork belly on a barbeque next to crab and oyster shells and sea salted crisps – everything to one’s Islay heart’s content. Big on the palate; hot, ashy, embers, sweet smoke, germolene and Elastoplast. What else do you need! -toffee apples, icing sugar and a well cleaned hospital floor. Who wants to add water? Ok, diluted lead pencil shavings, honey glazed gammon, sweet and sour pork and creosote. On the taste still smoky and medicinal but less so, spare ribs with an apple sauce and how about taking an Elastoplast off with your teeth after swimming in the sea – you either love it or hate it, we loved it!
Drinking tip: Dancing around the fire on the beach at sunset

Cask No. 30.73 $100
Speyside, Spey
We found a very interesting nose with lots going on – plum jam, peach, apricot, rose-hip syrup, cinnamon toast, honey, toffee, almond, celery leaf and fresh oak. The palate started with crisp greengage freshness, before turning to pomegranates and red toffee apples, closing with dried figs and dates, mild spice and granola cereal notes. Water deepened the nose impressions – Danish pastries, Special K with dried strawberries, rose pot-pourri, sauna wood, hay, leather and cigar boxes. The reduced palate boasted fruit baskets, tingling ginger spice, tobacco, toffee and dark chocolate with cherry pieces. The distillery is operated by Berry Bros and Rudd.
Drinking tip: Different and versatile – an unusual aperitif perhaps – or while doing the ironing

Snorkelling in the bath tub
Cask No. 66.42 $95
Speyside, Deveron
We were greeted by a warm wood burning fire with some heather and peat being thrown on top. Additional aromas are that of bacon frazzles, rosemary oil, gammon steak and dried cured salty salami. In the background is the smell of a plastic paddling pool in the warm sunshine. The taste was like the end of a cigar; sweet, smoky and hot. The heat was also like that of hot metal grills barbequing burgers and sausages. With water, aromas of grilled chicken with a lemon and coriander marinade next to well-used snorkeling equipment with a hint of salt and chlorine appearing. The taste is now like a citrus refresher sweetie, scented candles, Bavarian smoked cheese and an ashy charcoal note in the finish.
Drinking tip: Setting up a barbeque next to the swimming pool
Colour: Daffodils in the sunshine Date distilled: July 2002
Cask: Refill barrel Alcohol: 54.5%

A welcome home dram
Cask No. 72.25 $225
Speyside, Lossie
Early aromas of polish, varnish and glue faded, replaced by homely, welcoming smells of pastry tarts, shortbread and brioche, with abundant sweetness (ice-cream, marzipan, Caramac, spun sugar, honeycomb) – long maturation declaring itself through hessian, pepper, sauna wood, liquorice and humbugs. The palate was fruity, sweet and spicy (fruit cake, buttery Peshawari naan, rhubarb crumble, vanilla, poached pears, clove, Brazil nuts). The reduced nose found lemon sponge, stem ginger in syrup and gardens after rain. The palate became more delicate – lemon and camomile tea and cherry Bakewell with the light bitterness of apricot stones and willow. The distillery produces 5.5million litres.
Drinking tip: A good ‘welcome dram’ or with afternoon tea
Colour: Refracted buttercup gold Date distilled: December 1983
Cask: Refill hogshead Alcohol: 49.9%
Age: 29 years USA allocation: 84 bottles

Tantalisingly sweet and savoury
Cask No. 78.40 $125
Highland, Western
Tantalising sweet and savoury aromas to start with. Stewed apples with brown sugar, Madeira cake, wax polished floors and bergamot. Then bitter marmalade, honey and hay. Oh so sweet and smooth to taste: rich caramelised roast beef gravy, gooseberries, caramel and marsala wine. Adding water made the aromas sweeter. Rum and raisin (Old Jamaica chocolate), sauternes, bakewell tart, caramel and vanilla. The water made it very creamy, smooth, softer and richer to taste. Also less savoury. Now there’s tea bread, carrot cake with icing, a hint of ginger and raisins. From the distillery named after Scotland’s highest mountain.
Drinking tip: For after dinner or a long lunch
Colour: Door knocker brass Date distilled: September 1996
Cask: Refill Sherry butt Alcohol: 55.1%
Age: 16 years USA allocation: 102 bottles

Ode to Autumn
Cask No. 94.4 $195
Highland, Eastern
We were greeted by a dusty, warm and malty aroma – like a hayfield at harvest time on a sunny afternoon, or sanding a wooden floor, or dusting off a Scalextric set not used for a long time and having a first go. In the taste sweet and rich with a herbal and fruity note; Italian biscotti biscuits with hazelnuts and dark cherries as well as aniseed, lemon and orange rind. Adding water, roasted red peppers stuffed with herb couscous accompanied by a salty/tangy ginger and lime dressing and the taste salty and sweet like an olive oil and balsamic bread dip. A unique example from the distillery with a unique cooling system for its spirit still – simply running cold water along the sides.
Drinking tip: After enjoying a lovely autumn day
Colour: Golden syrup Date distilled: May 1989
Cask: Refill hogshead Alcohol: 52.3%
Age: 24 years USA allocation: 78 bottles

Iced mulled wine and Sorrento Limoncello
Cask No. G1.11 $150
Grain
The initial nose was a combination of oak shavings and linseed oil with sweeter aromas arriving very quickly. We discovered very ripe peaches and nectarines, toffee apple sponge pudding, Scotch pancakes, Bourbon vanilla buttercream and Terry’s Chocolate Orange. Sweet flavours dominate on the palate neat as well, but at the same time zesty as a lemon or lime rind, mouth drying and fizzy like orange flavoured Tango popping candy. Adding a drop of water increases the sweetness on the nose; orange cream fondant, tablet, caramelised sugar, vanilla pods and candid orange and lemon peel. The taste is like an iced mulled wine with cloves and cinnamon and a true Sorrento Limoncello. This is a very elegant example from Edinburgh‘s only operating distillery.
Drinking tip: Celebrating the arrival of summer
Colour: Golden syrup Date distilled: December 1991
Cask: Refill butt Alcohol: 65.1%
Age: 21 years USA allocation: 90 bottles
