Dimple 12 Year Old De Luxe 1980s

Blended Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: John Haig & Co. Ltd. 75cl / 40%

A lovely old bottle of Dimple 12-year-old, the famous premium blend from John Haig & Co. We estimate this bottle is from the 1980s, so the whisky inside would have been distilled no later than the mid 1970s and quite possibly earlier. These old Dimple 12-year-olds are generally excellent, with a higher-than-today malt content giving resinous, waxy, oily flavours and a power belying their strength.

Haig and Dimple were best-selling whiskies in postwar UK, but now they're seldom if ever seen on these shores, with the dishonourable exception of Haig Club. The brand is still a serious player in the export market, and got a welcome boost in the US a decade or so ago when it featured prominently in Breaking Bad as Walter White's favourite dram.
