Led by Diageo’s Global Whisky Master Ewan Gunn and the mixology team at Sandton Sundeck, guests were introduced to the versatile whisky through a series of exciting cocktails made especially for the event.
Ewan Gunn commented: “Haig Club Clubman is a Scotch crafted to appeal to people who are new to whisky, and whisky connoisseurs alike.
Our signature serve the Clubman and Cola is a stunning drink, with the vanilla, butterscotch and sweet toffee flavours of the whisky combining perfectly with the sweet caramel of cola.
This is a very smooth, versatile Scotch that’s delicious with cola or enjoyed neat, or mixed in a cocktail.”

Master Distiller and Blender Chris Clark has applied his over 30 years of experience to create Haig Club Clubman, seeking to make a Scotch Whisky with the perfect combination of distillery character and cask influence.
He matured the spirit exclusively in American Oak casks that have previously held Bourbon, and the result is a wonderfully smooth, sweet and enjoyable Scotch Whisky.
Haig Club Clubman will launch nationally across South Africa in March and will be available at fine retailers for a suggested retail price of R299.
