Whyte & Mackay 21 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky

Whyte & Mackay was born in Glasgow in 1882, when James Whyte and Charles Mackay set up their merchant and blending house; its roots, however, go back to Allan & Poynter, founded in 1844 and managed by Whyte himself. The brand's double red lion is said to combine the Macgregor crest with the lion rampant of Scotland.

This twenty-one-year-old blend, aged in wood for all that time, comes in the distinctive round, flattened bottle with a rigid burgundy leather-look case, in the version for the Italian market imported by Liquorama of San Donato Milanese. It belongs to the years when the house already owned the Dalmore distillery, which joined the group in 1960 through the merger with Mackenzie Bros.
