Taste: Slightly sweet at first warming to a warm soft gingerbread and whisky mouth feel.
Finish: vanilla and faint background of burnt wood.
Haig Club is a bold new Single Grain Whisky. Single Grain Whisky is often used in blended whisky to tone down the wilder flavours of Single Malt and Pot Still spice. It is no surprise then that Diageo have also turned to a full single grain whisky to create the definitive entry level whisky aimed at convincing non whisky drinkers of vodka and gin that whisky is the direction that their future spirit life should take. Yes, to a certain degree it may be a victory of marketing and branding over substance but you have to consider the entire package. With it’s distinctive bright blue bottle and luxury packaging, Haig Club could easily become one of the most popular and desirable Father’s Day presents of 2015! A worthy recipient of a One Pooka award as an easy drinking, fun, every-day and party whisky.
