White Horse is one of the classic blended Scotch whiskies. The brand’s name and famous logo come from the White Horse pub in Edinburgh, which was owned by the Mackie family from the mid-17th century until 1917. The Mackies bought Lagavulin in 1862 and the White Horse blend was introduced in 1890, the year after the legendary Peter Mackie had taken the reins of the family business.

Famously described as ‘one-third genius, one-third megalomaniac and one-third eccentric’, Peter Mackie caused a stir on Islay, famously building the Malt Mill distillery on the grounds of Lagavulin in 1908 in a fit of pique after a failed agency agreement with Laphroaig. Mackie’s business was renamed White Horse Distillers after his death in 1924 and was subsumed into Distillers Company Ltd in 1927. Sadly, White Horse is an export-only brand nowadays, but older bottles are still highly sought-after at auction.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, this is not comprehensive and is based on a brief overview. Most items will be described as good or fair, this does not mean it will not exhibit wear or tear. We do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen.

Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in any circumstance. All bottles are checked for authenticity by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.

No item is deemed new and may exhibit wear or tear, however many items are generally in good condition. If an item has notable faults, we will make every effort to mention these in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be on this page.

All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to provide a condition report or date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should not place a bid and notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly. Placing a bid confirms you have checked the Lot and are satisfied.
