Clan Campbell is a whisky born and bred in Scotland, a country renowned for the purity of its water, and is blended from the finest grain and malt whiskies. Made in the Highlands, it ages for at least three years in oak casks. Today, the brand is the leading premium whisky in France.

In 1266, Sir Colin Campbell proved himself the King of Scotland’s mightiest champion when facing the English invader. From that time onwards, the Duke of Argyll, chief of the Clan Campbell, has carried the title of “MacCailein Mor”, or son of the Great Colin. The brand has been marketed in France since 1984.

The John Barr blend was created for the UK market in the 1970s to imitate the recently withdrawn Johnnie Walker Red Label [see below]. So desperate was its owner, DCL, to recover the lost sales from one of its best-selling brands that the original John Barr bottle even mimicked the square-shape made so famous by its predecessor. Unfortunately, it was not a popular dram and was not highly regarded. Despite a change of ownership, John Barr continues to reflect the brand’s early imitation of Johnnie Walker. Expressions now available include John Barr Finest (red label) – a standard blend – and John Barr Reserve (black label), a smoky blend that contains 40 constituent whiskies including Speyside and Highland malts up to 15 years old.

"The secret behind the award-winning taste of Whyte & Mackay is our triple maturation process and the way we blend to make sure no single whisky dominates another, creating a harmony of flavours that work together to produce our famous smoother, richer taste. The story begins with choosing the finest aged single malts and aged grain whiskies from two of Scotland's most famous distilling regions, Highland and Speyside. Then we carefully age the malt whisky whilst separately aging the grain whisky. Most blended whiskies stop at this stage but Whyte and Mackay add an additional step. The final chapter of the maturation story sees the marrying of these two different whiskies in sherry casks. This triple maturation process produces a whisky rich in colour with golden highlights, round and full on the nose with smooth, rich flavours of honey and fruits." Whyte and Mackay can trace its roots back to 1844 in Glasgow.
