Haig Club Limited Edition 1 litre bottle will be available in travel retail this Christmas.
With an RRP of £39 it is around the same price of the standard 70cl bottling.

William your article demonstrates how much of these sales will be gift buyers, which perhaps explains why much of the travel retail shelves are now filled with no age statement whiskies marked as travel retail exclusive implying some sort of rarity or uniqueness to the gift buyer. |

It is a shame that a lot of the distilleries are releasing so many NAS drams now. Although some are fantastic a lot of them are not worth the price you pay. I have a Bowmore Black Rock (travel retail exclusive) which simply isn't worth what I paid. It has some interesting flavors and is in a 1L bottle however. |
