Whyte and Mackay

Whyte and Mackay

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. [http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2007/05/17/stories/2007051706070100.htm]

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.
