Vintage Haig Blended Scotch Whisky Advert

Haig was bottled in a distinctive three-sided bottle with dimpled sides, starting in the 1890s. The bottle was registered as a trademark in the US in 1958 by Julius Lunsford. It and the bottle design for Coca-Cola (which was also registered by Lunsford) were the first two bottle designs to appear in the Principal Register of the United States Patent and Trademark Office Most current variations of the Haig brand are produced using spirits from Diageo’s Glenkinchie distillery and Linkwood distillery.

Haig, December 1967

Kane McKenzie Haig founded a distillery in the early 1720s in the Kennetpans in Clackmannan, Clackmannanshire, which became Scotland’s largest distillery by 1733. It has been called the world’s first commercial distillery. John Haig & Co. was subsequently merged into the Distillers Company Limited (DCL) in 1877.
