Balblair Highland Single Malt Scotch announced a partnership with the esteemed Art of Photography Show running August 13 to October 23, 2011 at the Lyceum Theatre Gallery in San Diego.

Balblair holds the distinction of being the only Scotch whisky in the world to be exclusively released in vintages. Only the best whiskies from a particular year and those which have reached peak maturation are selected by the Distillery Manager for release, which is credited for the brand’s tagline “Vintages Timed to Perfection.”

“The connection to photography is perfect for the brand,” said Pat Graney, President of U.S. Operations for International Beverage. “A photograph captures a moment in time and all of the associations that go with it, and Balblair is no different.”

The Art of Photography Show is one of the largest juried photographic competitions in the world. Visitors to the Opening Reception on August 13th will enjoy drams of Balblair while viewing the selections from this year’s judge, Anne Lyden, Associate Curator of Photography at the J. Paul Getty Museum. More than 15,000 entries were submitted and $10,000 in awards will go to the top 15 selections.

“We are very pleased to count Balblair amount our supporters,” said Steven Churchill, Producer of the Art of Photography Show. “The brand’s connection to photography is very tangible and its presence at the opening reception will greatly enhance attendees’ experience.”
