James Whyte & Charles Mackay founded their whisky business in Glasgow in 1882. The company acquired their first distillery, Dalmore, in 1960, recruited Richard Paterson in 1970 and picked up Fettercairn distillery in 1973, shortly after the business had fallen into a long and frequently painful ownership merry-go-round.
Whyte & Mackay purchased Isle of Jura and the Invergordon grain distillery in 1995 and, following a troubled management buyout in 2001, fell into the hands of the notorious Vijay Mallya’s United Spirits Ltd in 2007. In 2014, with Mallya’s empire unravelling, the company was sold to the Philippines company Emperador Inc and has enjoyed relative stability since. Legendary frontman and Master Blender Richard Paterson celebrated his 50th anniversary with the company in 2020.
