It's not every day you get to hold a piece of history like this. Named after the legendary White Horse Cellar Inn in Edinburgh, White Horse was first introduced to the world in 1890 by Peter Mackie.
Unfortunately, there's very little knowledge of this bottle left, but what we do know is that it would usually be composed of a high percentage of Malt Mill (closed in 1960), Lagavulin, and a variety of Whiskies from the Glenlivet district in Speyside. Or something like that, nobody really knows.
Oh, and the "By Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen" dates this bottle sometime in the 1950s.

Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
Is Scotch always Scottish? What do you think? Yes. The answer is yes.
