Description
The White Horse Distillery was an Irish whisky distillery that operated in Mountrath, County Laois, Ireland. The distillery was named after a local river, the White Horse. The river itself is said to be so named due to the colour of the water that ran in the river as a result of the operations of a distillery in the centre of the town.
Now long gone, according to local folklore, the distillery or the brand were sold to Scottish distillers in the 1800s. If true, this would mark an interesting change of fortunes in the distilling industries of the two countries, as similarly a named, more enduring White Horse whisky brand was established in Scotland in 1861.
Taking its name from a famous Edinburgh inn, White Horse is a historic brand with Lagavulin one of its key components. Bottled we estimate in the 1960s this is a perfect example of the iconic blend in good condition.

The Lowlands
The region has five currently producing whisky distilleries: Ailsa Bay,in Girvan owned by William Grant & Sons, Glenkinchie distillery, near Edinburgh; Auchentoshan, near Clydebank; and Bladnoch in Galloway and Annandale Distillery in Annan. Another distillery Daftmill in Fife has started distilling but have not yet brought a single malt to market. Three further new distilleries have opened in recent years: The Glasgow Distillery Company in Glasgow, Kingsbarns distillery and InchDairnie distillery both in Fife. Distilleries are also planned at Lindores Abbey at Ardgowan. At least six other lowland single malts are still available, but are no longer distilled: Rosebank, Kinclaith, St. Magdalene, Ladyburn, Inverleven, and Littlemill. Traditionally Lowland single malts are triple distilled (though this has not been true of all of them), often giving them a lighter taste.
