Whyte and Mackay Limited is a Scottish company registered since 1927, whose stated business under Companies House records is the distilling, rectifying and blending of spirits. Evidence linked to the company includes the Harveys sherry brand, produced from grapes sourced in Spain's Jerez region and aged using the traditional solera and criadera system, with quality overseen by a dedicated master blender. The brand traces its origins to Bristol in 1796 and includes Harveys Bristol Cream, first created in 1882. This indicates the company operates within spirits and fortified wine production and blending, rather than simply distributing or retailing drinks made by others.
