  A whiskey synonymous with pure alcohol both in aroma and taste; if you need to drink it, it would be good to have it with Coca-Cola, for the more initiated with Drambuie.

  a whiskey that is good for its price. If it has to be compared to higher-end whiskies, I don't think there is a question. It is great for the money. Strong, aromatic, and with a nice aftertaste, I repeat, only for this price

  From Whiskey, Scottish and American. I have consumed the following in order, from oldest to newest, until today (Wednesday, February 15, 2023):

  1. The Famous Grouse (my review of this drink is available on skroutz.gr)
  2. Dimple
  3. Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 (my review of this drink is available on skroutz.gr)
  4. Teacher's, Highland Cream (my review of this drink is available on skroutz.gr)
  5. Jack Daniel's Gentleman Jack (my review of this drink is available on skroutz.gr)
  6. Buffalo Trace (my review of this drink is available on skroutz.gr)
  7. Haig Gold Label
  8. Dewar's White Label (my review of this drink is available on skroutz.gr)
  9. Jim Beam White Label

  I have also tried the following drinks so far: Fix, Mythos, and Corona Extra beers, as well as other brands. Gordon's Space, Smirnoff Ice, red wine from various producers. Ouzo from Plomari and Mytilene, Absolut and Stolichnaya vodka. Sierra's silver tequila. Olmeca Blanco & Olmeca Reposado tequilas. And 2 liqueurs: Olmeca Dark Chocolate & Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire.

  The Haig Gold Label is a whiskey that is not tasteless. But it has a truly awful taste. When I tried it at my sister's house, I felt like spitting it out.

  Its aroma, however, is somewhat attractive. It reminded me somewhat of the smell of Teacher's Highland Cream when I smelled it from the bottle, opening it.

  Clearly, there are cheaper whiskeys than Haig Gold Label. Which have a better taste. Like Teacher's Highland Cream. And even very humble whiskeys. Like Cutty Sark and VAT 69.

  Well, I tasted and smelled this whiskey very carefully. Straight, without ice or water.

  I don't hide that I am generally a fan of American whiskey. Which is significantly cheaper than Scottish single malts. And tastewise, superior to all blended Scottish whiskeys.

  The bottle of Haig Gold Label is short, thick, opaque, and dark. It is by far the ugliest liquor bottle I have seen so far. It certainly doesn't impress the consumer. And it doesn't make you want to buy it.

  Haig Gold Label has a screw cap and a safety valve. And I prefer both of these. Because the screw cap is more durable over time compared to the simple cork. And the safety valve allows for more measured and precise pouring.

  In conclusion, Haig Gold Label is an expensive whiskey for the poor taste it offers. It certainly cannot compete with many cheaper or similarly priced whiskeys.

  The decision to purchase is yours.

  Positives:

  • It is perhaps the oldest distillery in Scotland.
  • It has a screw cap and a safety valve.

  Negatives:

  • Its taste is very unpleasant.
  • Its price is high for its overall low quality.
  • Poorly designed bottle.

  My favorite whiskey! I don't put anything next to it! And I'm telling you this, even though I drink alcohol 1-2 times a year. No matter what I drink, I have it straight, no ice, no coke, no other nonsense. I never liked whiskey. But this one has a unique taste and nothing to do with the others. It's Haig and the whiskey! And a little history. Haig is the oldest widely produced whiskey in the world! Its taste remains unchanged if you compare it to a Haig from the 60s (there is a video by Ralfy), because its grains come from the exact same fields in Scotland, unlike other widely produced whiskeys like the well-known Johnnie Walker, where their grains come from all over the world!

  Guys, it's really amazing. This one is the best-tasting whiskey in its category. It's worth every euro. Full in flavor, sweet with a nice sensation. Now I only buy this one in an economical way. Well, maybe Teacher's as an alternative. None of the others, not even close.

  I can't understand why people drink it and why it's popular. Probably because we're not a country that appreciates whiskey in general. This particular one has a terrible taste, alcohol with no aroma and no pleasant sensation. Probably for those who drink whiskey with coke

  It is quite difficult to drink. It's like drinking pure alcohol. Generally, I like heavy whiskies but this is not even whisky... I don't believe the taste is like that just because it's spicy as some say. I have had spicy whiskies before but it wasn't like this. I didn't like it and I definitely wouldn't buy it again. As I have said, at such a price, only Bushmills.

  Full flavor towards spicy and consistent quality. For my personal taste, one of the top in its price range and what I prefer in this category.

  I'm sorry that I didn't discover this rich, elegant, subtly aromatic, full-bodied whiskey earlier. Excellent!

  Unique first in its category surpasses all others. Although its price has increased as before 10 years you could find it at 12-13 € and not advertised, I prefer it.

  Heating oil clean. There are better ones at this price. For example, Teacher's. I wouldn't even want to see it again

  The worst thing I have ever tasted in my life. The only positive thing (maybe) is that it is cheap
