Southwest Spirits is proud to offer this iconic 1960s bottling of Dimple Haig. Known for its distinctive three-sided bottle and hand-applied wire mesh, Dimple was the "deluxe" brother to the standard Haig Gold Label.
Historical Significance:
The Wire Net: Originally designed in the 1890s to prevent the cork from popping out during rough sea voyages to export markets. By the 1960s, it became the signature aesthetic of this luxury blend.
The Royal Warrant: Proudly displaying the warrant for HM Queen Elizabeth II.
Old-Style Blending: In the 1960s, Dimple had a significantly higher malt-to-grain ratio than many modern blends, utilizing heart malts from Glenkinchie and Linkwood.
Condition Report:
Label: The main label shows beautiful vintage "dusting" and aging, consistent with a bottle stored in a cellar for decades.
Seal: The gold foil and wire net are intact, which is vital for the value of this specific item.
