Product Information

The Haig family and their network of cousins dominated the industrial Lowland whisky scene and were supremely well-placed to surf the boom.

Dimple Pinch, for those not familiar, is an extremely mild blended whiskey with a few centuries' worth of roots in Scotland.It may be blended, but 15 years minimum and this goes down smooth with a nice warmth for the winters up here. Me, being a total scotch nut, must investigate this passion of so many, and see if I too, can join their ranks.

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. Dimple Haig, or Dimple Pinch, first came to market in 1893 at a time when demand for blended Scotch whisky was expanding in all directions.

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. Personally, my problem is that my first real Scotch I ever had was a gift of Johnnie Walker 18 yr Century Blend. Over 300 years of distilling and blending experience have ensured the perfection of this most distinguished deluxe Scotch whiskey. On the plus side, there are no detectable off-notes due to the grain whisky component (nor should there be, at 15 years) and the dram is very well-integrated. 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.

In the event of any safety concerns or for any other information about a product please carefully read any instructions provided on the label or packaging and contact the manufacturer.Given your affection for Johnnie Walker 18 yr (that has since been discontinued) I think you will really enjoy any of the above. For one thing, I believe older versions of the Dimple Pinch 15 were 43% ABV rather than the current (at least in the U. My sample was bottled before this particular faux pax, so this review applies to older 43% ABV presentations of Haig Dimple. This light body dram is probably perfect for summer and will work well for introducing a newbie to whisky. 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.
