Where is the current distillery?
editWhere is the current distillery for the Haig brand? I understand there is a Cameronbridge Grain Distillery owned by Diageo, but presumably there would also be a malt distillery somewhere, wouldn't there? Does that distillery also produce malt whisky? Is that the only currently operating distillery that is closely associated with the Haig brand? Does the Haig brand have any single malt expressions, or only blended whisky? —BarrelProof (talk) 15:18, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
- Other than Haig Club, Haig brand whiskies are primarily a blend from Glenkinchie distillery and Linkwood distillery[1]. Haig Club is the only grain whisky from the brand, which is why I had thought Haig Club deserved it's own article, what do you think? - Jack Palmers (talk) 16:58, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
- Personally, I think one article is sufficient to cover all Haig and Dimple branded whiskies. Practically all major brands of whisky have different sub-brand expressions that are somewhat different from each other. As far as I'm concerned, Haig Club is still Haig brand whisky. The article itself can talk about the particular blend and ageing for each expression, assuming we can get reliable sources for that information. It would be nice to have a source that's more "reliable" than that commercial site. —BarrelProof (talk) 19:40, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
- Also, as I understand it, Haig Club is not purely non-barley grain whisky, since all Scotch whisky is required by law to contain some malted barley (per the Scotch Whisky Regulations). And the other Haig expressions also contain some grain whisky – note that the page that you linked to, about Haig Dimple 15 year-old, says that that expression has "a high malt proportion", so it's not just malt but is a blend that also contains grain whisky. The proportion of grain versus malt might be a bit different, but they both contain some malted barley and some non-malt grain. —BarrelProof (talk) 19:59, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
- That makes sense, I see your point. Still a bit new to this, so just working my way around. Thanks though. - Jack Palmers (talk) 08:25, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Current production
editIt isn't clear which sub-brands are still offered for sale. I've tried to find info on the web, but haven't been terribly successful. Does anyone have a good source? I've added what I've been able to figure out, but I don't have RS for it. --Macrakis (talk) 22:08, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
