Whyte & Mackay / Stay Smooth Promotion

As part of its Stay Smooth campaign, Whyte & Mackay is celebrating some of the unique and colourful characters of Glasgow and Edinburgh, the type of folks who have helped keep our brand surprisingly smooth since 1844.

We’ll be doing this on the street, online and in a special one-off magazine available at bars across our two great cities, where we’re also offering some fantastic prizes. For your chance to Create Your Own Whisky with us, simply buy a Whyte & Mackay at one of our participating outlets and text in to tell us what makes you Surprisingly Smooth. You’ll also be in with a chance to win one of 5000 free drams at participating outlets in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
