Think of Haig Club, and you think of David Beckham - not because of clever marketing or glossy advertising campaigns - but because David is a brand partner in every sense of the word.

"Haig Club is all about making your own rules and breaking the stereotypes associated with drinking Scotch, which I love." - David Beckham

I was in as soon as they told me about Haig Club, the Haig family, and the history behind the whisky with Haig. Once we sat down, discussed the project, and that I was becoming part of a family that had been around for 400 years, I didn't need to know anything else. I love the heritage, so as soon as I knew about it, it was a given that I would be involved. I've always wanted to be a whisky drinker, but being an athlete, I've never got into that. I never drank too much over my career, which was 22 years. We've had a lot of fun and a lot of success so far, but most of all, it's great to be part of a family that's been around for so many years.
