Here is some info I found online about the Haig family and distillery business for your reference - THE HAIG BRANDS JOHN HAIG & CO LTD Founded by John Haig (1802 - 1878) Founder of the Cameron Bridge Distillery in 1824 John was an innovator just like his Stein uncles were. He soon realised that the invention of the Patent Stills would lead to a glut of spirits flooding the lowland market. By the mid 1830s he was trying to interest other distillers in a scheme to regulate production and to stabilise pricing. By the 1850s he was regarded as a leading spokesman for the Scottish Distillers and was able to influence Government on Acts relating to the manufacture of spirit. By 1865 he was the inspiration behind the formation of the Scotch Distillers Association. This was later to become DCL (Distillers Company Ltd), a group of grain whisky distillers formed to try to control the now saturated spirit market. By 1877 DCL members controlled 75% of grain whisky production. John Haig & Co Ltd was floated in 1894 and in March of 1919 the ordinary shares were sold to DCL who acquired control. HAIG & HAIG Founded in 1888 by John Haig’s four sons primarily to trade in the American market. By 1893 they introduced the now famous Dimple bottle into this market. Haig & Haig became a limited company in 1898 but went into receivership in 1907. After being passed on several times the Haig & Haig interests were eventually bought by DCL and transferred to John Haig & Co in 1925. HAIG BRAND FACTS In 1958 the Haig Dimple bottle was the first container to be trademarked by the US Patent Office for its unique design. From 1930- 1970 Haig Gold Label was the UK’s brand leader, backed by the famous slogan ‘Don’t be vague, ask for Haig’ , the first brand to sell a million cases in the home market. Joe Kennedy, JFK’s father and chairman of Somerset Importers, was appointed distributor of the Haig’s Dimple brands in the USA. The famous Field Marshall Earl Haig of WW1 fame was chairman of DCL in 1924. To this day the Haig’s Cameron Bridge Distillery is the largest spirit distillery in Europe.
