"HITLER SPEAKS”

"You're picking winners well today— see if you can tell this whisky.”
“It's White Horse, of course— I could tell it blindfold”
The rare and subtle character of White Horse sets it apart from any other whisky. You can tell it by its exquisite bouquet alone. But it is the perfect blending of fragrance with mell- owness and smoothness which makes White Horse Whisky the equal of a fine liqueur. The millions of gallons of finest Scotch whisky matured and maturing ensure that the quality of White Horse never varies.
