Additional Notes by Paul Kane from the Whiskey Club Belfast
In Belfast, there is a vibrant traditional bar known as Whites Tavern... It takes its name from Hugh White and Co (trademark “Whites” est 1787). It should be noted that Whites Tavern was originally known as Hugh White & Co from 1868 - and does right to ignore the fact that “Whites” had been trading for 70 years prior to this. The Tavern had been established 200 years previously and had been bought and sold among various Wine and Spirit Merchants for its wine cellars and many rooms spanning 4 levels.

Hugh White & Co were Wine and Spirit Merchants and although Hugh White died in 1882 the name was still used until the late 1960s. The current Hugh White & Co registered trademark was applied for in 1886 - and was owned by Irish Bonding Company Limited, latterly a subsidiary of Guinness and now Diageo. Originally Whites Whiskey was famed for being “Guaranteed 22 years old” and full of Old Irish Whiskey! The origin of this whiskey was more than likely from Jameson... The Whites 22 whiskey that immediately came to an end pre-1970 was from Jameson also but I’m not convinced it was 22 years old.
