"Couldn't keep my eye

on the ball to-day!”

“Never mind, you can tell this whisky blindfold”

There is no other whisky with quite the genial mellowness, the smoothness, the exquisite fragrance of White Horse. When you find all the qualities of finest Scotch whiskies blended into one, you know it can only be White Horse Whisky.
