PROVED SCOTLAND'S LEADING SPIRIT
The spirit of quality and conscientious service which actuates this business and which is so jealously guarded has been fully justified in our gaining First Prize at the Brewers' Exhibi tion in London.
The competition was open to al Brands of Scotch Whisky but "Red Hackle" triumphed with one accord the seven expert judges placed "Red Hackle" first. We feel that once you have tried "Red Hackle" you will also necord it first place and that your friends will share your enthusiasm for this, the acknowledged leader of Seotch Whiskies.
