Production method
Based on blending single malts and grain whisky; practices the so-called triple maturation process which involves separate ageing of components and an additional harmonisation phase in sherry casks ('marrying').
Ageing
Triple maturation: separate ageing of malt and grain whiskies, followed by a 'marrying' period in casks (including sherry casks) to harmonise the blend.
Producer history White & Mackay
The company dates back to the 19th century in Glasgow and established itself as a producer and bottler of blended Scotch and single malts. Over its history it has acquired and developed multiple brands and production sites across Scotland. In 2014 the group was acquired by the Filipino group Emperador (Alliance Global Group), which has maintained its international operations.
Production philosophy
