When we first heard about the initial Haig Club being released with David Beckham we had a discussion at MoM Towers about what the price point would be. When it was eventually announced, however, it was quite a bit higher than the whiskies we'd previously assumed they'd be competing with. That's where Haig Club Clubman comes in, which will be the more "mainstream" variant.
The Clubman, a single grain Scotch whisky distilled at Cameronbridge and matured in ex-bourbon casks, is designed to be enjoyed with cola.
Inoffensive vanilla, nougat and caramel notes. With Beckham behind it, we can see plenty of vodka coke drinkers making the switch to Clubman and not looking back.

It's absolutely fine for mixing with a ginger ale or cocktails, on its own it is a bit uneventful and forgettable, however having said all that if I'm buying whiskey for mixing then this is great, it is what it is as they say.
There are a few here saying it's barely whisky but I disagree. You can very easily pick out the vanilla in the palate and the bourbon in the finish- although that's about all. Honestly fine on it's own for getting quickly gone, there's very little booziness to this, and on ice or with a mixer it's just fine. At this price, though, the bottle is great to use with a wine cork as a decanter. Will not be buying another bottle (I prefer Jameson as a mixer and I don't often mix) and not even close to competition with decent scotches or even cheap bourbons, but the bottle is emptying quickly.
The second whisky I’ve had to pour down the drain after Grants Family reserve. It tastes like vaguely whisky flavoured water, absolutely no substance to it.
It's designed for mixing and is pretty good at it very light would recommend to people who say they don't like whiskey or women or new whisky drinkers. Don't listen to all the snobbery it's not as bad as bells or famous grouse
I've never yet thrown a whisky away, but this is the closest I have come. Really harsh chemical aftertaste - doesn't even taste like whisky of any description. Avoid at all costs.
