QUALITY?

Of course, it's up to you what whisky you drink. But we believe that you want the best at any price –—– not any whisky at the lowest price. You'll do well to buy Cluny Scotch Whisky-the Whisky in which age, quality, and purity are combined.

Thus the not- mal position is reversed for a task would be the refreshment while
