The story
The Dimple brand is historically connected to the Haig family (John Haig & Co.) and to the tradition of blended Scotch sold in the iconic three-sided, indented bottle. In the past Dimple was marketed with age statements (e.g. 15 years) and under various names/variants (in some markets as Dimple Pinch). Today the brand is distributed within the Haig/Diageo portfolio and there are more recent versions without age statements (Golden Selection).
