Haig Gold Label
Scotch Whisky
Haig whisky is steeped in history since it was first distilled by John Haig in Cameronbridge Scotland in 1824. From these humble beginnings, Haig Whisky quickly rose to become one of the most successful and popular Scotch whiskies in the world before falling into decline some 30 years ago as it left the Haig family ownership and ownership was passed through a series of multinational drinks companies.
The distillery meanwhile went from strength to strength and now in the ownership of Diageo, is one of the largest distilleries in Europe.
Haig Gold Label is still available if you look in the right places. It’s an easy drinking single grain and 40% malt blended whisky with no pretensions other than to provide a simple dram of something nice. For many years, Haig Gold was one of the best selling Scotch whiskies in the world until the 1970’s when its popularity declined.

Haig Gold Label is all things to all people. Safe reliable and consistent.
