Only whisky that has matured for long years' in the wood is used in the blending of Johnnie Walker; and thanks to the huge stocks of whiskies which have been laid down through- out the years, Johnnie Walker is older and better than ever.

All over Scotland these fine whiskies are patiently maturing, waiting to give, when "roundness and skilfully blended, that harmony which has always been a distinctive. feature of Johnnie Walker. Remember to look for the famous square bottle; remember to ask for Johnnie Walker by name.
