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.
Superb for a mixer drink. Not so much with water. I will have to buy some more.
After a dabble with all types of whiskies over the years, especially expensive single malts, I saw the single grain Clubman, bought it on offer with a tenner off for fifteen pounds and drank it neat. It is too sharp for my taste, which I should have realised as it suggested on the label that it be drunk with cola or dry ginger. Anybody want it before I sling it down the drain!
Lovely!
Smooth, sweet and light. A good introduction.
