Whyte & Mackay사의 스카치 위스키 특징은 2번의 숙성 과정을 통해 만들어진 부드러운 맛입니다.
쉐리 오크통에서 숙성 시킨 35 종류의 몰트 위스키들을 블렌딩하여 다시 쉐리 오크통에서 수개월 동안
숙성 (메링) 시킨 후, 6 종류의 그레인 위스키들을 블렌딩하여 또 다른 쉐리 오크통에 넣어서 최고의 맛과
향을 갖을 수 있도록 최소 6개월 이상을 재숙성 시켰습니다.
Whyte & Mackay사는 Charles Mackay와 James Whyte가 1882년 글래스고우에 위스키 창고를
공동으로 구입한 후, 1884년 부터 블렌디드 위스키를 생산하면서 시작되었습니다.
Whyte & Mackay사에서는 Whyte & Mackay Blended Scotch Whisky 외에도, Dalmore,
Isle of Jura, Fettercairn 등의 Single Malt Scotch Whisky와 Glayva Liqueur, Vladivar Vodka
등을 생산하고 있습니다.
Whyte & Mackay사는 그 동안 여러번의 주인이 바뀌었으며, 2007년 5월에 인도의 억만장자 소유인
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.
Tasting Notes
Martine Nouet
Nose
Resiny at start. Old furniture. Beeswax. Floral. Pear drop with a hint of nail polish.
Palate
Smooth, velvety. Sherried. Fruit. Stewed plums. Marmalade. A touch of milk chocolate.
Finish
Long and delicate, full of charm with a lively fresh oak touch. Appetising gingery dryness.
Comment
Well-balanced and luscious. Keeps talking if you let it breathe. A blend of distinction. |

Liquorous. Peach syrup, butterscotch. Liqueur chocolate, orange chocolate truffle. Lingering and rich with notes of black forest gateau.

Very full and thick. Covers the tongue. Pastille like black fruits. Liquorous. Raisin, sticky toffee pudding, molasses, demerara sugar. Mellow.

Rich, raisined fruits. The chocolate.

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.
