It&#8217;s our passion and our livelihood. So it\u2019s hugely personal to us \u2013 as a result, we have, over the last 25 years been lucky to have experienced some of the finest Scotch whiskies ever created, at the very places they were conceived.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-md-6 col-sm-6\">\n<p>Imagine if you will, being on the windswept beaches of Islay and turning your collar to the cool ocean breeze blowing off the North Sea. Now, imagine in your hand a warm glass of Bruichladdich, a 1992 distillation, matured in some of the finest oak casks, every sip creating an explosion of flavor and warmth and a natural defense against the ocean\u2019s chill. That moment, that experience is what we work every day to bring you in every bottle of Alexander Murray we release<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">We can count as friends, distillers and whisky people from Scotland and throughout the world. Through these relationships, built up over the decades, we have access to some of the very best and rarest whiskies produced by the most well-known distilleries in Scotland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">There are two significant dates in our world: 1911 and 2004.<\/p>\n<p>1911: There, in the rolling fields of the North-East of Scotland, on a small farm, a boy was born. This boy, named Alexander Murray, would grow up working the farm, which helped shape his character and view on the world. Alexander Murray would become a true individual and independent thinker, and would influence many of those around him, including his young nephew, Steve Lipp.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3079 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/25593304_10155987863261031_1167896070_o-204x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"204\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/25593304_10155987863261031_1167896070_o-204x300.jpg 204w, https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/25593304_10155987863261031_1167896070_o-768x1130.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/25593304_10155987863261031_1167896070_o-696x1024.jpg 696w, https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/25593304_10155987863261031_1167896070_o.jpg 1251w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 204px) 100vw, 204px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>2004: Steve, now a fully grown man, having cut his teeth working for a number of independent whisky companies in Scotland in the 1990s, founded Alexander Murray &amp; Co LLC and the Alexander Murray brand in his new home, California; naming the company after the Great Uncle who gave him his very first taste of Scotch whisky; \u2018the water of life\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alexandermurray.com\/product-page\/#\/all-products\">View our range<\/a><\/p>\n<p>#SeaYouOnTheSand #Scotch #TheWaterOfLife<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beach Rugby Wales are pleased to announce a new partnership with Alexander Murray &amp; Company.
