PURE MALT WHISKIES.
11:00 A
WILLIAM GRANT & SONS, LTD., THE GLENFIDDICH DISTILLERY, DUFFTOWN, N.B.
"OUR ANALYSES of these WHISKIES indicate that the Statements medo in regard to them are honest that is to say, that they are Pune MALT WHISKIES distilled in the Pot Sul. Moreover, the evidence of the palate is in favour of the statement that they are fully matured. The flavour, while wally and rich, is "gofl.” A feature in the analytical results was the amount of Ethers. The amount of Elkers represents a maximum quantity for Whisky. It may be remarked also that acidity of these Whiskies was practically nil. These Whiskies are well adapted for SPECIAL DIETETIC PURPOSES."
