White Horse Distillers
of Glasgow, whisky distillers.
1924 A circular was issued to shareholders of Mackie and Co. Distillers, calling a meeting to consider a resolution for voluntary liquidation with a view to disposing of the business to a new company. It was proposed to sell the business to the existing shareholders for £1,300,000, and that a new company be formed, to be called White Horse Distillers Limited. Stocks of whisky had been valued at £3,000,000, and the new company would acquire them at half the price. Sir Peter Mackie would be retiring from active management, but the business would be carried on as usual under the same personnel.[1] A few days later the new company was registered, with capital of £1,300,000 to acquire the whole interest in, and assets of, distillery establishments and businesses belonging to Mackie, and the trade of distillers, merchants, and blenders, carried on by them at Glasgow, London, and elsewhere.[2]
1927 Acquired by Distillers Co.[3] The transaction was on a cash basis and the intention was to carry on the business as a separate entity and under the same management.[4]
