My father worked for many, many years for White Horse at Waterloo, London. Can anyone confirm whether they actually distilled whisky there or was it just a bottling plant? As my father was a boilerman there I've always assumed that it was in fact a distillery but now I have my doubts. I know that sherry casks used to arrive there from Spain since my father would bottle what remained in the casks and take it home to my mother!

The property White Horse had in Waterloo was at Leake Street under Waterloo Station. It was a bonded warehouse which was used for bottling and packaging as well as storage - and just to clarify - the property at Waterloo was not a distillery.
