White Horse Blended Scotch Whisky, 1970s (75cl, 40%)

This White Horse is a blended Scotch whisky from the 1970s, in a 75cl bottle at 40%. The story begins in 1880 with the whisky merchants James Logan Mackie & Co. Four years later the company bought a stake in Lagavulin on Islay, where James's nephew Peter Mackie learned distilling and blending. He joined in 1890 and launched the White Horse blend the following year. The company became White Horse Distillers in 1924 and joined DCL in 1927. Its blend was eventually limited to export markets, and Diageo dissolved the company in 2010.
