Haig Club
Highland Single Grain, 16Y 40% ABV
The much anticipated David Beckham endorsed single grain whisky, produced at Cameronbridge distillery. A combination of first-fill, rejuvenated and refill bourbon barrel-matured whiskies are used and Beckham, along with Simon Fuller, is very much involved in the development of the Haig Club brand.
| NOSE | It doesn’t jump out at you, granted, but there’s more here than meets the eye (/nose). Apple crumble, expressed lemon peel and a touch of mango. Millionaire’s shortbread, banoffee pie, coconut milk, dried grass, orange Turkish delight and cardamom. |
| PALATE | Toffee and vanilla with pleasant supporting oak notes. Fresh banana (neither overpowering nor artificial), a hint of nougat and honeycomb pieces. |
| FINISH | Praline, cinnamon and a little ginger with perhaps a hint of cardamom returning right at the death. |
