Description

Kentucky Tavern Bourbon Whiskey Ad 1946Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The ad has a picture of a tabletop that is covered with a bottle of Kentucky Tavern, three glasses filled with bourbon on the rocks, a pair of ice tongs and four books held upright by a pair of horse-racing bookends. The ad headline calls this bourbon “The Aristocrat of Bonds” and the text talks about it being under the same family ownership from the beginning at around the time the first Kentucky Derby was run. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
