Haig Gold Label

John Haig & Company is a non-trading subsidiary of multinational drinks giant, Diageo. While the company is not currently in use, Diageo continues to market its popular Dimple and Gold Label blends in various export markets, and revived the Haig name for its David Beckham-backed Cameronbridge single grain brand, Haig Club.

Although Cameronbridge distillery was one of the founding six members of the Distillers Company Limited, John Haig & Co operated independently of it until 1919. Once fully absorbed, the company was granted the licenses to various malt distilleries including Glenkinchie, Mannochmore and Glenlossie, however unlike its fellow blenders once considered the “big five,” it never opted to market any single malt brands. The company was declared dormant in 1991 as United Distillers looked to streamline its operations.
