It's worth knowing

a few FACTS

about

WHISKY

- said

Johnnie Walker

The fact that whisky is in "the prime of life” when it is old.

The fact that it takes many separate whiskies blended together to make a good whisky. In the blending of Johnnie Walker, every one of these whiskies is chosen for its distinctive flavour and character.

The fact that the blenders of Johnnie Walker can guarantee consistent excellence year by year because of the enormous reserves of fully matured whiskies at their disposal.

Keep these facts in mind, and
