The Whisky That Demands Respect

Errol Flynn once commented, “I like my whisky old and my women young”. From reborn Whyte & Mackay, ‘The 30’ brings a tough new image to Scotch combining proud Glasgow heritage with a bold black and gold livery.

Founded on the docks of Glasgow in 1844 by James Whyte and Charles Mackay, Whyte & Mackay has pioneered hand crafted distilling for over 160 years. Unique in the industry, the age-old tradition of ‘double marriage’ is preserved to this day.

‘The 30’, created from a selection of the finest spirits of 1976, is the pinnacle in the career of Richard Patterson, Whyte & Mackay’s 3rd generation Master Blender. He explains it simply, “ I have been nurturing this whisky for three decades. It really is a lifetime’s work”.

Aged whisky is a luxury being discovered by more and more discerning consumers around the world. As the vodka generation discover the pleasure of whisky, this 30 year old offers the fortunate few the chance to taste a rare masterpiece from a legend in the whisky business.
