Haig Gold Label - Circa 1940s
Haig Gold Label. Bottled between 1936-1952. By appointment to his Majesty King George VI.
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.
