This bottle of Haig Gold Label Blended Scotch Whisky was probably produced in the late 1950s or early 1960s. The weight and height of the bottle (38 cm) suggest a capacity of one UK gallon (4.55 litres).
The company John Haig & Co Ltd was founded in 1824 by John Haig. Many of his ancestors and relatives were already running whisky distilleries. In 1865, he was one of the founding members of the Scotch Distillers Association, an association of producers of grain whisky, which later became the Distiller Company Ltd (DCL).
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
