Whisky Haig Gold Label. Hailing from Scotland's oldest distillery, Haig has an authentic character that is reflected in its taste. The taste is soft and balanced with notes of peat and an aftertaste that lasts. The color is golden, aromas of tobacco and freshly cut herbs, with a satisfying body with peppery notes of cardamom, a traditional whisky from the oldest producer of Scotch whisky. Haig was born in 1627 in Stirling, the first distillery in Scotland. John Haig was the first to name Scotch whisky. To this day, Haig remains a whisky of unique quality. Haig is a whisky for those looking for authenticity.
