Haig Club Single Grain Scotch Whisky

Today, the Haig family legacy lives on at the Cameronbridge Distillery, where single grain whisky is still produced according to the continuous production techniques — through Coffey and Stein stills — pioneered by John Haig many centuries ago. Much like single malt whisky, single grain whisky must adhere to a strict set of standards, including being produced at a single distillery and aged for a minimum of three years in oak barrels.

Haig Club Single Grain Whisky is made from a mash of 10% barley and 90% wheat, and is distilled through column stills at the Cameronbridge Distillery. Once distilled, the whisky is aged for a minimum of three years in various types of casks, including first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, refill ex-bourbon barrels, refill hogshead casks and rejuvenated casks, which are casks that are stripped on the interior and re-charred before use.

Bottled at 80 proof, Haig Club Single Grain Whisky represents a unique new way of approaching single grain whisky, and counts David Beckham and Simon Fuller as its ambassadors. The whisky was recently released in the United States.

Tasting Notes

The whisky has a pale, golden color and an aroma of fudge, almonds, vanilla and dried mango. The palate is light and refreshing, with notes of toasted oak, butterscotch, banana and toffee, and leads to a finish marked by shortbread cookies and baking spices.
