Of Peats and Putts Down Under

Exploring whisky and golf in Australia and New Zealand

Andrew Brown’s latest odyssey investigating how whisky and golf – Scotland’s two gifts to the world – have developed around the globe, takes him to Australia and New Zealand where he finds much to explore. In Australia, he focuses on Tasmania which he finds has become ‘the Speyside of the Australian whisky industry’ as well as boasting some impressive new golfing locations. In New Zealand, as well as wondering at the extraordinary scenery, he finds a host of new investments in both whisky distilleries and particularly high-end golfing locations which prompts him to muse further on the global appeal of these two Scottish inventions.

Reviews of Of Peats and Putts Down Under:

This little book is a personal journey of discovery. As he writes: “Both whisky and golf are more than just a drink and a sport; both can be seen as metaphors for the vagaries of life itself.” Indeed!
