Haig Gold Label. Bottled between 1936-1952. By appointment to his Majesty King George VI. No size stated although full size bottle. 70 Proof. No box.
A wonderful old bottle of the Haig Gold Label blended Scotch whisky. From the King George VI royal warrant on the label and the old springcap closure we estimate that this bottle dates from 1936-1952.
Haig was far more high profile back then as one of the most famous whiskies in the world at the time. The best blends had a far higher malt whisky content in the mid 20th century too, and most of these whiskies would have been distilled during or in the immediate aftermath of the war. This will be a magnificent drop, these old Haig blends are typically very waxy, minerally and metallic with hints of engine oil, diesel fumes, herbs, syrup and spices.
First introduced in 1893 and known as Dimple Pinch in the USA, Haig’s Dimple is one of the flagship brands from the historic John Haig stable of blended whiskies. The Haig family were distilling in Scotland from at least the 1650s and by the late 19th century John Haig & Co. was a founder member of the grain whisky cartel that became Distillers Company Limited in 1877.
The Dimple and Pinch names both refer to the whisky’s instantly recognisable bottle, a chunky, curving, triangular prism with concave sides. Dimple was one of the USA’s most popular whisky brands well before the advent of prohibition and although Haig’s Dimple has declined in the UK since its peak in the early 1970s it remains an important brand in export markets.
Whisky-Online Auctions is a public auction for collectible spirits. Lots are offered for sale in their existing condition and bidders are expected to satisfy themselves as to the condition, authenticity, description and suitability of any Lot before placing a bid.
Although a condition report is normally included within the Lot description, prospective bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect Lots in person prior to bidding. If this is not possible and further information is required, bidders should use the "Ask A Question" facility to request clarification or a more detailed condition report before bidding.
All Lots are sold strictly "as seen" and "as described". Any condition report, commentary, dating estimate, provenance information or opinion provided by Whisky-Online Auctions is offered in good faith and represents our assessment at the time of cataloguing. Such information should not be considered a guarantee or warranty.
Whisky-Online Auctions reserves the right to amend, correct, supplement or clarify any catalogue description, image or other Lot information, and to withdraw, combine or divide Lots, at any time prior to the conclusion of the auction. Bidders are responsible for reviewing the final Lot description and any updates issued before bidding.
Due to the age and nature of collectible spirits, natural deterioration may occur over time, including evaporation, ullage, leakage, cork deterioration, capsule degradation, label wear and oxidation. The condition of the liquid, closure, seal and packaging is entirely at the buyer's discretion and risk. Whisky-Online Auctions makes no warranty as to the drinkability, taste, quality or suitability for consumption of any Lot.
All bottles are inspected prior to sale and, unless otherwise stated, are sealed. However, Whisky-Online Auctions cannot guarantee the integrity of any cork, seal, stopper or closure.
Images form part of the description and depict the actual Lot being offered. Where visible, fill levels will be shown in the images and/or description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Information relating to bottle age, bottling period, vintage, provenance, rarity and historical background is provided to the best of our knowledge based on available research and industry experience. Any date or bottling period assigned to a Lot represents our opinion at the time of cataloguing and should not be considered a guarantee or warranty.
Any questions relating to condition, authenticity, provenance, fill level, dating or packaging must be raised before bidding. Questions or concerns raised after a bid has been placed, after the auction has ended, or after a Lot has been won will not constitute grounds for cancelling a bid, refusing payment or disputing the sale.
By placing a bid, bidders confirm that they have reviewed the description and images, sought any additional information they require, and are satisfied with the Lot. All sales are final except where required otherwise by law or under the Whisky-Online Auctions Terms and Conditions.
