<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 149088, member: 44&quot;]I&#039;m surprised it says &quot;12 Years Old&quot; while the Haig website says it has &quot;an age statement of 15 years.&quot; &quot;Haig Pinch was a Haig Whisky product for the American market and was bottled at the slightly higher strength of 43% ABV.&quot; European and other markets other than the American market the bottles were Haig Dimple.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.haigwhisky.com/haig-pinch-scotch-whisky/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.haigwhisky.com/haig-pinch-scotch-whisky/" rel="nofollow">http://www.haigwhisky.com/haig-pinch-scotch-whisky/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The following website agrees with the advice you have gotten here, keep it and drink it at special occasions.

It was probably their sentimental value that prevented them from being opened and consumed. You must also remember that we now live in a consumer age where no one thinks twice about ordering a bottle or two of Scotch Whisky online or buying Scotch in your local store. But 40 to 100 years ago, a bottle of Scotch was a once a year purchase and quite unusual and special for the average family. This, I believe is why so many old bottles have still survived unopened.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;As you may have noticed from my own blog articles, I’m a firm believer that whisky is there to be drunk rather than stored. My advice always is that if you find yourself in possession of a very special bottle of whisky drink it over a year or so on special occasions and then keep the empty bottle as a nice reminder of the original gift and story and also the special occasions when you drank really special whisky.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://www.haigwhisky.com/old-haig-whisky-expert-guide-aging-haig/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.haigwhisky.com/old-haig-whisky-expert-guide-aging-haig/" rel="nofollow">http://www.haigwhisky.com/old-haig-whisky-expert-guide-aging-haig/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
