Haig 1970s Gold Label Blended Scotch Whisky (Old Bottle)

A bottle of Gold Label from John Haig & Co, released during the 1970s. The Haig family had a long history of distilling going back as far as the 15th Century. Since 1824 when Cameronbridge distillery was opened by John Haig, Haig has been a big brand in the whisky world. As part of a distilling dynasty, John Haig became important in the regulation of Whisky production and was a spokesman for the industry. Although the brand began to shrink in the 1970s, in the last couple of years it has seen a healthy revival with the help of Mr Posh Spice David Beckham.
