Whyte & Mackay scotch whiskies recently received top tasting scores from the Beverage Testing Institute.
The Dalmore 40 Year Old received the highest score awarded by the Beverage Testing Institute in their recent tasting of the scotch whisky category. Scoring a 98 out of 100, The Dalmore 40 Year Old was the highest ranked brand in the Scotch and Irish Whisk(e)y competition and The Dalmore 1974 scored a 97, second only to The Dalmore 40 Year Old.
Jorge Gutierrez, Whyte & Mackay’s Vice President of the Americas noted, “The Dalmore 40 Year Old is an exceptional scotch; it came as no surprise to us that it would score well.
