I picked this up last week on a punt, really not up-to much, it's quite sharp and harsh, tastes very thin and lacking any kind of real flavour or kick. I won't be purchasing it again.

A whisky using david beckham in their ad campaign tells you everything you need to know.
Not my brilliance, I stole it from a previous listing...

Is this really that bad? I mean it's better than bells right?

Anything is better than Bell's !!! :confused:
Best Blended Grain Whisky out there in my humble opinion is Ballantyne's (especially if it is reduced from it's normal £20 to £16 as is often the Morrison's / Waitrose / Tesco case).

This stuff is marketed as if it's a bloody aftershave. Might be all it's good for to be honest.

Well they tried their hardest to make the bottle look like a cheap 1980s aftershave so they are doing well in that regard

single grain whisky really is rough
this is the 'mediocre' stuff that blended whiskies add to malt whiskies to make a blend
they bulk out the malt whiskies
they are cheap
& rough

this is probably how much it's worth, as it is Cameron Brig, which costs a little less than this

"Diageo has revealed details of a new whiskey it is set to launch under the David Beckham Haig Club name, as it looks to attract a younger audience who are looking to drink the spirit with a mixer."
Tells you all you need to know really :wink:

It's not that bad, wouldn't buy it again at the full price, but at £17 will probably get some in.

Single grain 'cheap' whiskies like this are generally terrible, far too harsh. Tasted the Haig Club (3x the price) and that was not good for what it cost. Normally need blending into a better taste. The fact that Simon Fuller and DB7 are 'brand ambassadors' for this phish, keeps me well away from this overpriced drink.
By the way, about 5 years ago, Bells as a superb drink as Malt Whiskey sales had really fallen so Bells used a higher percentage and for a year or two produced some nice stuff. Unfortunately Malt prices are high at the moment, so the quality has suffered.
If you want to spend £17 on a bottle, try Ballantines and avoid the hyped Haig stuff

I would rather buy a bottle of Evian for £17 than buy Haig Club.
