TinTin & Ideal II

Last wednesday we announced that we had two surprises at Ideal, the first one was the Loch Lomond whisky, today we show you the second one: the Haig’s whisky.

This whisky also has an honorable mention in the TinTin comics, Hergé has been one of the most detailist comic book artists of history and in the tenth comic of TinTin (TinTin and the red sea sharks, 1958) there is a vignette where we can find an exact replica of a Haig’s whisky bottle with the same label the bottles from the distillery John Haig & Co Ltd. had back in the day. During TinTin’s publication Hergé used a lot of real brands in the stories, eventually lots of them were substituted by fictional brands (as we showed you with the Loch Lomond story) but you can still find quite a lot of references to real brands such as Fiat, Kodak or Rolex in the pages of the comics.
