First produced by James Logan Mackie in 1861 and taking its name from a famous Edinburgh inn, White Horse is a historic brand with Lagavulin one of its key components.  This bottle has been bottled exclusively for Japan Jardine Matheson & co., (Japan) Ltd. We estimate this to be a bottling from the late 1970s.

Given the date of the bottling, we expect a major component of this whisky to be Lagavulin.
