Think twice before you decide on a whisky-lest you unwittingly pass up one of the world's finest. The water test, which reveals the true nature of any whisky, will quickly prove to you the wisdom of choosing Seagram's V.O. Canadian Whisky.

TRY THIS SIMPLE FATER TEST

1. Add pure drinking water (plain or soda) to an ounce or two of Seagram's V. O. Breathe in that inviting bouquet. 2. Sip slowly; enjoy the distinctively different taste, the rare delicacy, the light-bodied smoothness of Seagram's V. O. with water. Then you'll know Seagram's V.
