STAMFORD, Conn., June 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Whyte & Mackay Americas has engaged Blackheath Beverage Group to further develop the national sales representation of the Whyte & Mackay Scotch Whisky portfolio.

Effective immediately, Blackheath's sales team will work alongside the Whyte & Mackay team to add further impetus to the rapid growth that their brands have enjoyed over the last couple of years.

Whyte & Mackay was founded on the docks of Glasgow in 1844 by James Whyte and Charles Mackay and since that time this much loved company has gone from strength to strength.  From producing award winning blends to record breaking luxury malts – and recreating a 100 year old whisky found in Antarctica along the way – Whyte & Mackay reinforces Scotland's global reputation for innovation, quality and for producing the world's best whisky.  Whyte & Mackay Americas LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Whyte & Mackay Glasgow operation.
