White Horse Distillers Ltd.
b.1939
The Old Blend Whisky of the White Horse Cellar
By Appointment to The Late King George V
75cl 1
Nose
Not the most expressive but I do get pineapple and mango, very faint vanilla, melting candle wax, caramel waffles.
Taste
Better than the nose hinted at and a little fizzy, still on pineapple, faint lemon and lime, a little cream with hints of milk chocolate.
Finish
Medium length on a nice fruity fizziness
Bottled in 1939 so minimum distilled 1936 but I assume older whisky is in it so the oldest whisky I have tried, could be from the early 1930`s. (previously 1936 Mortlach was my oldest).
The bottle in the picture is the actual bottle tasted.
I have tried White Horse from the 50`s-80`s and the profile is similar and I recognise it as White Horse which surprised me.
It is great to get hold of an old blend like this, and yes it is pretty good.

Very interesting blast from the past. Sounds like one I would definitely enjoy.
