White Horse Cellar Blended Scotch Whisky Late 1940s

$2,250 AUD

“By Appointment to His Majesty the King”, in this case judging by the US tax seals it is King George VI, which would likely place this bottle in the late 1940’s.

It has a good fill into the neck and for its age is in remarkably good condition. A US import by Browne Vintners of New York.

The size is given as 4/5 quart and the strength shown is 86.8 proof. There is the customary spring cap of the era.

                                             

This product is located in the United Kingdom.

White Horse

A much-loved blend from the old DCL stable – forgive the pun – which Diageo still promotes in many overseas markets, including Japan.

It sold 1.5 million cases in 2015 but dropped to 1.3 million in 2016. Hopefully, that decline can be arrested.

There is more about White Horse and the brand’s history and associated distilleries under the White Horse Story.
