Grand Metropolitan bought IDV, then part of Watney Mann & Truman, in 1972. J & B have created a range of high quality premium whiskies for Alfred Dunhill Limited, including Dunhill Centenary, Dunhill's Celebration Edition and Dunhill's Gentlemen's Speyside Blend.
Tasting Comment : A combination of some thirty individual whiskies, some more than twenty years old, Dunhill Old Master is an exceptionally smooth, richly flavoured blend.

Founded : ?
(New modern still built somewhere around 1998)
Owner : United Malt and Grain Distillers Ltd.
1 Trinity Road, Elgin, Morayshire IV30 1UF, Scotland.
Producer :  ?
Water : Jock's Well
Remark : From Collins Pocket Reference : Whisky
Prettily situated at the water's edge in the Dullan Glen, this is one of seven distilleries in and around Dufftown, a major whisky production centre with plentiful resources of water, peat and, previously, barley. Despite the abundance of fresh water in the glen, there were disputes in the early years over water rights, some of which led to the nocturnal diversion and re-devision of local supplies. The distillery finally gained the right to draw its supplies from Jock's Well, a reliable source of fine, sweet water some distance away. The single malt is still relatively rare, becoming more widely available in official bottlings in United Distillers' Distillery (Flora and Fauna) Malts series early in the 1990's.
Tasting comment : A pleasant Speyside malt with a delicate, fragrant aroma which is almost flowery, and a smooth, sweet taste. Doubles as a before- or after-dinner dram.

From the label :
Highland single Scotch Whisky Dufftown distillery was established near Dufftown at the end of the C19th. The bridgth flash of the Kingfisher can often be seen over the Dullan River, which flows past the old stone buildings of the distillery on its way to the Spey. This single Highland malt whisky is typically speyside in character with a delicate, fragrant, almost flowery aroma and taste which lingers on the palate.

DEWAR'S

 


Location : Perth, Scotland
Region : Highland
Country : Scotland
Type : Blend
Distillery :  John Dewar & Sons
Founded : 1846
Owner : United Distillers,
Banbeath, Leven, Fife
Producer :  ?
Water : ?
Remark : From Collins Pocket Reference : Whisky
John Dewar and Sons was one of the blending companies instrumental in the development of new whisky markets outside Scotland. Begun in Perth in 1846, it was the first company to sell its whisky in bottles as well as casks, thus opening up a new market in the home rather than just the licensed shop, pub or hotel. Dewar was also a pioneer of whisky advertising and was one of the first companies whose bottles carried its company name. By the time it became part of the Distillers Company Limited in 1925, it owned seven distilleries, who of which (Aberfeldy and Glen Ord) are still licensed to Dewar. More than 90% of production is exported.
Tasting comment : Dewar's White Label, the bestselling Scotch whisky in the USA, has a slightly smoky aroma and a complex, delicate malty flavour with a clean, dry finish.

THE DIMPLE / THE PINCH / HAIG'S DIMPLE.


Location : ?
Region : ?
Country : Scotland
Type : Blended – de luxe scotch whisky
Distillery :  ?
Founded : Early 1890's
Owner : United Distillers
Producer : John Haig and Co Ltd.
Haig House, Albany Street

Water : ?
Remark :

The Dimple / The Pinch / Haig's Dimple :

It's still bottled by United Distillers (or UDV as they've become known), but they may have dropped the reference to Haig and Haig on the label. Pinch is known as The Dimple everywhere except in USA.

Here's some commercial stuff from United Distillers.:
The story of Pinch, the fourth largest blended Deluxe Scotch whisky in the world, is reflected in the spirit of over 350 years' of whisky distilling and blending experience. When farmer/distiller Robert Haig was summoned before the church elders in 1655 for operating his still on the Sabbath (Sunday), this marked the earliest documented reference to a distillery company still operating today.
The art and craft of whisky distilling were passed down through generations of the Haig family dynasty, and Robert's descendants operated distilleries in Scotland, England and Ireland. One of them, John Haig, opened a distillery in 1824 at Cameronbridge in the fertile and historical Kingdom of Fife, which lies across the Firth of Forth from Edinburgh. Around 1870, his son John was the first Haig to use the newly developed practice of blending. The deep understanding of product and their long tradition of whisky making was realized, to perfection, in the early 1890s with the creation of Pinch.
This deluxe blend of exceptional distinction is found in the world's most exclusive bars and elegant homes, enjoyed by those who appreciate rare quality. Pinch is the perfect international companion when friends meet in smart surroundings. In recognition of the consistent high quality of Pinch, the whisky was awarded a gold medal in 1987 in the Deluxe blended whisky category of the International Wine and Spirit competition.
Pinch is distinguished even further by its famous triangular, dimpled bottle wrapped in wire net. (The blend is known as The Dimple in markets outside the United States.)
The whisky has been bottled in this attractive container since its creation, with the hand-applied wire mesh originally designed to prevent the cork from coming out during export shipments through rough seas. The Pinch 'decanter,' after the precious contents have been enjoyed, has been put to decorative use around the world. To protect its exclusive use, the Pinch bottle was the first bottle to be patented in the United States, in 1958.
It is a fitting and unique container for a whisky that has no equals.
