Description
Three color 9 3/4″ x 14″ ad that is for Ancient Age Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This ad has a drawing of a man on a wagon being pulled by a very sedate white horse under the headline saying that you should “Enjoy the luxury of the “FLAVOR-YEARS” in the mellow ripeness of Ancient Age“. It then says that “Whiskey comes of age to be bottled in bond at only four years old, a sort of official ‘majority’. But beyond four, each year adds finer flavor-character – as more maturity brings richer mellowness…There is no substitute for time; no short-cut to the quality you get in Ancient Age. Patiently mellowed to give you the full taste advantage of extra ‘Flavor-Years’, the straight whiskies in Ancient Age are EIGHT YEARS OLD“.
