"How's that?”

"Excellent! It's White Horse-

I could tell it blindfold.”

No other whisky combines so rare a fragrance with

such mellow smoothness; no other is quite so soft, so

round, so genial. Perfect blending and slow maturing have made 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.

FROSTBITE IS THE ONLY

FEAR OF GREEKS

(From DAVID WALKER)
