Description

A miniature bottle of White Horse blended Scotch whisky, bottled by Mackie & Company Distillers Ltd., Lagavulin Distillery, Isle of Islay, and Glenlivet District. This was bottled in 1921.

The label carries a royal warrant by appointment to His Majesty The King.

Please note, there is no size or ABV stated on the label.

This bottle is from a large collection of miniatures purchased by the seller at an auction in 1979. The collection is mainly comprised of blended Scotch whiskies and single malts bottled in the first half of the 20th century.

The Mackie family had been the owners of Lagavulin distillery since it was purchased by blender John Logan Mackie in 1865. Mackie & Company Distillers was established around 1890. In 1891, John Logan's nephew Peter registered the name White Horse Cellar for their flagship blend, named after an Edinburgh coaching inn owned by the Mackie family. When Peter Mackie died in 1924 (by then Sir Peter Mackie), the company name was changed to White Horse Distillers Ltd. In 1926, bottles of White Horse were fitted with screw caps, removing the need for corkscrews, and sales doubled in six months. The company was purchased by Distillers Company Limited in 1927.

This White Horse sold at our online auction for £60
