United Breweries Group에 5억 9천 5백만 파운드에 팔렸습니다.

이로 인해서 인도의 United Breweries Group은 세계에서 두번째로 큰 규모의 주류 회사가 되었습니다.

 

 

The secret of the success of the Whyte & Mackay blend lies in its unique double maturation
process which gives the whisky its smooth taste.

 

This blending process combines over 40 different malts in oak sherry casks before being
blended with selected aged grain whiskies.
The blend is then returned to another set of sherry casks to complete the second maturation.

This unique double maturation process produces a smoother mellow tasting blend of superior
quality.

Whyte & Mackay사 소개

 

Whyte and Mackay Ltd is a Scottish company producing alcoholic beverages.
It was founded in 1844 and is based in Glasgow, Scotland.

 

Charles Mackay and James Whyte started a company as whisky merchants and bonded warehousemen

in Glasgow in 1882.

W&M Special was their first blended whisky and it was successful in the United Kingdom and other
English speaking countries around the world (particularly Australia, Canada, New Zealand and
the United States).

After World War II they focused on the home market and now sell more than 1 million cases a year.

The company's brands include Whyte & Mackay Blended Scotch Whiskies, Dalmore Single Malt,
Isle of Jura Single Malt, Fettercairn Single Malt, Glayva liqueur, and Vladivar Vodka.

 

In May 2007 Whyte and Mackay was acquired by the United Breweries Group of India for ￡595 million.

Whyte and Mackay were sponsors of the English football team Leeds United from 2003 to 2006,
but their backing did little to save the club from a financial crisis which cost them their place
in the Premier League.

The brand currently sponsors Edinburgh club Hibernian in the Scottish Premier League
and the PDC Premier League Darts.
