Whyte & Mackay Whisky

Whyte & Mackay Scotch Whisky

Whyte & Mackay was founded in Glasgow in 1844 and remains Scots' top choice when selecting whisky for personal consumption today. Scots appreciate the golden, smooth, and flavorful whisky achieved through Whyte & Mackay's "Double Marriage Blending" process. This blending technique, once widely used by all, has been maintained uniquely by Whyte & Mackay despite significantly higher costs. "Double Marriage," as executed by Whyte & Mackay, involves blending over 35 of Scotland's finest malt whiskies and maturing the "vatted malt" in sherry casks for several months. Subsequently, this vatted malt is blended with up to 6 different grain whiskies and further aged in other sherry casks until achieving perfection. This unique production method guarantees a smooth, rounded, and distinctive flavor, ensuring that every drop of Whyte & Mackay whisky tastes as good as the first.

Although the ingredients are simple—malted barley, yeast, and the purest spring water—it is Whyte & Mackay's Master Blender, Richard Paterson, and his skilled team who nurture the whisky through the "Double Marriage" process, ensuring that Whyte & Mackay lives up to its "Special" name.

13, 19, and 22 years... and even older While most distilleries only mature once, Whyte & Mackay matures twice. While most distilleries bottle after, for example, 12 years, Whyte & Mackay's Master Blender insists on allowing their whisky to mature an extra year in sherry casks to achieve that "little extra" that makes Whyte & Mackay an unparalleled smooth and rounded whisky. The entire portfolio of Whyte & Mackay's blended whiskies has thus set a new standard for the Scottish whisky industry with blends that are 13, 19, and 22 years old. What a difference a single year can make!

Whyte & Mackay continues to move away from the lower end of the whisky market by completely removing the previous blue color from labels, bottles, and communication. Instead, they have adopted a metallic red and black appearance, while the top class of their blended whisky (often receiving medals) is adorned with metallic silver and gold. The bottle shape also reverts to the historic form of Whyte & Mackay, as first introduced in 1844—one of Scotland's oldest blended whiskies. Additionally, two logos can be found; one from the MacGregor/Whyte clan and the national red Scottish lion "The Lion Rampant". The design is meant to evoke the works of Scottish architect, artist, and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
