Enter the Lion’s Den… Whyte & Mackay Special Blended Scotch Whisky – 40% abv (alcohol by volume) Whyte & Mackay Special consists of over 35 specially selected malts, from the four whisky regions of Scotland, blended together to form a distinctive SPECIAL whisky. Working on the philosophy of “all good things come to those who wait,” Whyte & Mackay uses a double marriage process in the blending of their whisky, which not only guarantees a smooth, mellow and distinctive character but more importantly, it guarantees consistency – accounting for every drop of Whyte & Mackay tasting as good as the first. This exceptional SPECIAL blend is a true reflection of its noble founders. Whyte & Mackay The Thirteen – 40% abv The secret of the rich, rounded taste of THE THIRTEEN is in the unique Double Marriage maturation process. At 12 years old, when other producers bottle their aged blends, Whyte and Mackay’s Master Blender brings together the finest malt whiskies, then returns them to sherry casks to marry for another year – a loving union. At 13 years old the second marriage takes place, when the finest grain whiskies are introduced to this blend of malts to create the masterpiece that is THE THIRTEEN.
