“The filling of these special casks is really a celebration of the partnerships Whyte and Mackay has nurtured over time, which will ultimately benefit the whole industry.”
Glass has been investigating the use of native oak species for many years during his tenure at Whyte and Mackay’s experimental arm, Whisky Works, as well as developing long lasting partnerships with landowners and cooperages that share Whyte and Mackay’s long-term vision.
