Whyte & Mackay finally sold

After what seems an eternity Whyte & Mackay has finally been sold to United Breweries of India, who paid £595 million for the company. With W&M one of Scotland’s under performers in the global market it will be very interesting to see how the company grows over the next few years, especially now it has access to some fo the biggest emerging markets in the world. It will be even more interesting to see how Scoland’s other big whisky companies react too.
