Description

Mackinlay's is a historic brand name in Scotch whisky, first registered by Charles Mackinlay & Co in 1847. Charles Mackinlay & Co was a blending company that became part of the Whyte & Mackay group. The company had strong links to the Inverness whisky industry, with a stake in Glen Mhor and Glen Albyn distilleries, which contributed to their blends. This Mackinlay's VOB (Very Old Blended) Old Scotch Whisky is considered a continuation of the original series from the brand.
