Description

Dimple Scotch Whiskey 15 Year Old Wooden Wall Advertising Art. This fine wall adv art appears to be made of pine or similar softwood and in the form of its familiar dimpled bottle and has a little hanging hook on the back. I have not touched this up at all and wanted to leave it intact for the purist. There appears to be a white underlayment finish repair near “ The original Dimple “ lettering-under the top surface perhaps designed prepare a smooth lighter primer for a darker topcoat.
Size: 23 1/2” x 12” x 1 3/4”(at the top cap)
Easily recognisable thanks to its distinctive bottle shape, Dimple whisky uses malts from both Glenkinchie and Linkwood in its blend.
DIMPLE HISTORY
Dimple Haig, or Dimple Pinch, first came to market in 1893 at a time when demand for blended Scotch whisky was expanding in all directions. The Haig family and their network of cousins dominated the industrial Lowland whisky scene and were supremely well-placed to surf the boom.
John Haig & Co was a founding partner in the Distillers Company Ltd and became fully absorbed into DCL in 1919, though it operated as a more-or-less separate company.
It was two of John Haig’s sons – Alicius and Hugh Vietch – that established Haig & Haig in 1888 as an export business, overseeing the sale of the company’s whiskies in the US. The brothers’ work in the lead-up to Prohibition established the popularity of Dimple in the US.
By 1939 the combination of the Dimple and Gold Label brand extensions made Haig the top-selling Scotch in the UK, while Dimple Pinch had recovered its pre-Prohibition sales in the States.
While the brand disappeared in the UK (until the advent of Haig Club), Dimple was stilling selling over a million cases by the millennium when its key markets were South Korea, Germany, Greece and the US.
In popular culture, Dimple was the preferred whisky of high school science teacher-turned drug lord Walter White, in AMC’s TV series Breaking Bad, which ran for five years from 2008.
