Haigs Dimple 12 Year Old - De Luxe - 1980s

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.
