General information about White Horse Blended Whisky

The malt that is used the most in the White Horse range is the Lagavulin Single Malt from Islay. When you drink this fine blend you can taste honey and a kind of peaty taste. It also has a smooth and distinctive taste which you will always remember.

There are three main factors for the taste of White Horse Blended Whisky are they are the top quality grain, clean malt that is used and peat the water filters through. Also the salty sea air where Lagavulin is made gives White Horse unique taste that no other blend has. Caol Ila is also included within this blended whisky I would stay this is an outstanding blend that that can be underrated.

Some people say it is 'a poor man Islay', but I disagree with this statement and it is a bargain at the price it comes at when you look at the expensive Islay pure malts.

An interesting fact with White Horse Whisky is that it was the first bottle to have a screw cap instead of the cork and when they introduced the sales basically double. The name White Horse comes from The White Horse Cellar Inn in Edinburgh that was famous there in the 1700's.
