Exclamation Dimple Haig Scotch Whisky

Hi

I've come into possession of a bottle of Dimple whisky and I'm looking for help in dating the bottle, I've been doing a lot of research on Google and ruled some out.

The bottle or box has no dates or details on from what I can see, and the bit that is really puzzling me is it has no wire net, its not missing though, the bottle on the picture on the box has no wire net either. The only markings on the box are on the lid lip 12/36/13 does this mean anything?

markings on the bottom of bottle say Z897

can I upload a pic?

Thanks

Hi Jojo

Any news on finding a date for my bottle, also does anyone know why there is no wire netting on this one?

Lightbulb Serial number on Neck?

Hi

I've just noticed the label on the neck has what I assume is a serial number 088377

Does this help?

Hi there! As you know, we found out that based on the photographs you provided, your bottle of Haig's Dimple was produced between the mid 1970s and the early 1980s. The wire netting on Dimple bottles originally appeared during the 1950s and 1960s. The wire net was then absent for about 20 years before returning to the Dimple bottles.
