The secret behind the award-winning taste of Whyte & Mackay is it´s triple maturation process and the way that the blend is made to ensure that no whisky dominates another, creating a harmony of flavours that work together to produce a smoother, richer taste.
The process begins with choosing the finest aged single malts and aged grain whiskies from two of Scotland's most famous distilling regions, Highland and Speyside. Then the single malts and grain whiskies are aged separately. Most of the time, the blending process ends here, however Whyte and Mackay add an additional step.
The last phase of the maturation process sees the marrying of these two different whiskies in sherry casks. This triple maturation process produces a whisky rich in colour with golden highlights, round and full on the nose with smooth, rich flavours of honey and fruits.
