History

During World War 2, White Horse scotch was provided to crews of the 467th Bombardment Group during mission debriefings. The late New York Yankees manager Joe McCarthy favoured the White Horse brand of scotch. When he imbibed to excess he was said to be "riding the white horse". Other whiskies coming from the White Horse stable include Logan.

Composition
