Product Information

I actually quite fond of how Haig Club has been presented. Its tall, rectangular bottle is bold yet understated with simple lettering. Meanwhile, the geometric ridges on the side help you keep a firm grip when you’ve had a few too many. Overall, the bottle is actually somewhat reminiscent of gin rather than whisky. The John Haig & Co Ltd was only founded in 1802. However, the art of whiskey distillation had been running in the family since 1600, when Robert Haig, an ancestor of John Haig, went to Holland to learn all the industry secrets. Steve Rivkin, Fraser Sutherland, The Making of a Name: The Inside Story of the Brands We Buy, p. 125 DCL combined with John Walker & Son and Buchanan- Dewar in 1925 and was then acquired by Guinness in 1986, [10] which put it into its United Distillers subsidiary in 1987. Guinness then merged with Grand Metropolitan to form Diageo in 1997. [11]

Founded in 1824 by John Haig, the Cameronbridge distillery is located in Leven in Fife, north of Edinburgh. It has been the first one to use the column still method for distillation. On the nose, the Haig Club Whiskey is sweet and delicate, representing a lighter, more easily drinkable solution than heavier alternatives. In its scent, it is possible to recognize the freshness deriving from the lemon zest. Sweeter notes are also noticeable, including the ones of vanilla and honey.A Haig distillery, now known as the Cameronbridge distillery, was founded in 1824. [2] [9] In 1830, it became the first distillery to produce grain whisky using the column still method invented by Robert Stein in 1826 (before the later better-known refinement developed by Aeneas Coffey). Although marketed as a sweet whisky, I actually found this expression to be quite salty and even sour in terms of its primary flavours. Admittedly, this actually wasn’t unpleasant and I imagine that it would mix well with something fruity. Despite an overall briney character, Haig Club’s nose is remarkably sweet. While it’s not particularly intense nor complex is aroma, it is rather pleasant with a smooth eucalyptic nosefeel. Their daughter, also named Margaret, married a local lawyer John Jameson from Alloa in 1788. On marriage, John and Margaret Jameson moved to Dublin to run a new Stein family distillery in Bow Street which had been opened in 1780. [8] Contrary to popular belief, the Jameson Irish Whiskey company was not actually founded in 1780, but in 1810 when John Jameson bought the distillery from his wife's cousins, the Steins. The original Jameson Distillery in Bow Street is now home to the Jameson Visitor Centre. The Stein, Haig, and Jameson families were significant figures in the whisky market from that time forward.

Most current variations of the Haig brand are produced using spirits from Diageo's Glenkinchie distillery and Linkwood distillery. Constance L. Hays (30 September 1999), "Julius R.
