Ask the expert
I am a representative from a liquor board in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I have a customer who owns a bottle of Haig Dimple which he believes dates back to the early part of the 20th century.The owner is getting on in years and he has asked me whether this is an item that would be appropriate to offer as an auction item.
