Haig Club Single Grain Scotch Whisky. Image courtesy Diageo.This single grain Scotch from Diageo’s Cameronbridge grain distillery uses a combination of casks to create a light, tart, and citrusy whisky. The nose is tart with notes of grapefruit, a hint of lemon zest, sandalwood, linseed oil, and cedar. The taste is equally tart and citrusy with lemon pepper, a hint of oak underneath that lingers on the tongue, and notes of cedar, linseed oil, and caramel. The finish has touches of linseed oil, anise, toffee, and cedar. (October, 2014)
