Choose White Horse -
A joy to the palate
Its taste is so distinctive, its aroma and bouquet so satisfy. ing. Then it is always soft and smooth to the palate, always sets perfectly, always acts as a splendid bracer. >These virtues result from extraordinary care in selecting the choicest whiskies and from patience in ageing in wood and unusual skill in the blending and " marrying." Whisky such as White Horse-real old Scotch-can be made no other way. That is why you should always ask ́- for it by name.
