The Bruichladdich Links collection was created in partnership with Graeme Baxter the famous Golf Course artist. The series features nine whiskies featuring different golf courses. This is perhaps the most famous in the world. This edition was specially commissioned by the International Pairs Competition for the tournament players at St Andrews.

Like its island neighbour Bunnahabhain distillery, Bruichladdich has traditionally been an un-peated single malt, mostly owing to its requirements by the blenders who owned it. The last of these was Whyte & Mackay, who eventually shut it down in 1995, deeming it surplus to requirements. They sold the distillery to Murray McDavid in 2001, who launched the peated Port Charlotte and heavily-peated Octomore single malts in 2006 and 2008. A recommissioned Lomond still also now produces the popular Botanist gin there.
