Robert Haig was distilling as long ago as the early 17th century - making them the oldest Scotch whisky distillers in the world - but his great-grandson was the one to commercialise the family tipple. By 1733, only the decade after it had been founded by Kane McKenzie Haig, the Stirlingshire-based distillery became Scotland’s largest and the world’s first commercial distillery. The family also went on to establish the predecessor of the Jameson distillery in Bow Street, Dublin. Nowadays the home of Haig is known as the Cameronbridge distillery and is recognised for making grain whisky.
Dimple Haig, or Dimple Pinch, first came to market in 1893 at a time when demand for blended Scotch whisky was expanding in all directions. While the brand disappeared in the UK (until the advent of Haig Club), Dimple was stilling selling over a million cases by the millennium when its key markets were South Korea, Germany, Greece and the US.
We estimate this was bottled circa 1950’s.
