About this deal

This is a utility bottle, great for cocktails I think, and as a rock scotch, but not something you need to have on your shelf by any means. But also Ian Fleming’s James Bond stories, (Casino Royale, Living Daylongts, and Live and Let Die) and a bottle makes its appearance in the beginning of the movie, Ice Station Zebra. This subreddit is private because of Reddit's inability to provide proper moderation tools and listen to users. Haig Pinch, like Dimple was named after its distinctive triangular “Pinched” or Dimple” bottle shape which was so unique for its time, that the House of Haig registered the Dimple bottle shape as a trademark.

This lot is being sold by either; 1) a non-UK seller or 2) a VAT Registered Business, and is therefore subject to VAT. Personally, my problem is that my first real Scotch I ever had was a gift of Johnnie Walker 18 yr Century Blend.Haig whisky is steeped in history since it was first distilled by John Haig in the old Cameronbridge Distillery Scotland in 1824. There is some vanilla and oak, but it's stale and reminiscent of the smell you'd suffer when sitting in a taxi, that is supposedly non-smoking. Given your affection for Johnnie Walker 18 yr (that has since been discontinued) I think you will really enjoy any of the above. Please always read the labels, warnings, and directions provided with the product before using or consuming a product. Pinch Blended 15 Year Old Scotch Whisky, referred to as The Dimple Pinch, established in 1627, the oldest distillers of scotch whisky in the world.

Pinch to Cutty is rather snarky; since Cutty is nothing more than an everyday 'bar' scotch suitable for the mass market.

Dimple Pinch 15 Year Old is a deluxe blended Scotch Whisky produced at the oldest surviving Scotch Whisky distillery in Scotland. In 1865, John and eight other grain distillers formed an alliance, and in 1877 Distillers Company Limited (DCL) was formally established. Haig Pinch was a Haig Whisky product for the American market and was bottled at the slightly higher strength of 43% ABV. This bottle of the famous Haig Dimple whisky with its famous trademark Haig Dimple bottle dates from the 1940’s and the World War 2 Years. My sample was bottled before this particular faux pax, so this review applies to older 43% ABV presentations of Haig Dimple.

I presume you mean a case of Dimple Pinch that was made 40 years ago and not Dimple Pinch with a 40 year age statement on the label. If you are a serious drinker and want to avoid the crappy hangover of the previously mentioned, Pinch is the best. Taste: Surprisingly rough at first but quickly settling to a warm slightly smokey taste at the back of the mouth with an underlying caramel sweetness.

It bears mentioning that Breaking Bad characters have had worse luck with agave spirits than with whiskey. I really don't want a taste like red label or ballantines 12 years old but it is okay if it tastes like jack daniels.

I still think Dimple is the cheapest whiskey with this kind of taste, which I love, but I am from Eastern Europe and our national drinks are 60%+ proof alcohol anyway, so I don't find Dimple as strong as most people in the West. He experimented and mixed different kinds of whisky, creating the Dimple whisky recipe we know today. Before we proceed much further, I must warn that a 15 year-old bottle of Haig Dimple formerly contained scotch at 43% ABV, while most retailers are now carrying a 40% ABV presentation. Phew - I briefly contemplated picking up a bottle of DP 15 this morning, but went with a bottle of Redbreast 12 and Teachers (RB 12 was on sale) instead. I'm not mad at it, but this is definitely a pour on ice and share with somebody who wants a scotchy scotchy scotch scotch experience.Haig Dimple is the upmarket brother of Haig Gold with an age statement of 15 years and a much more malty influence including single Malt Whiskies from Glenkinchie and Linkwood in the blend. It may be blended, but 15 years minimum and this goes down smooth with a nice warmth for the winters up here.
