Whyte and Macky on trade sales director David Brown said: "I would like people to think that Whyte and Mackay has re-awoken, that it is at the top of the tree again.
"Pub customers are unlikely to buy 40 year-old whisky but there is a halo effect, it will act as a door opener and wave the flag for this business."
