Description
Full color 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad that displays the skilled hands that are responsible for blending the delicacies that bear the name, Ballantine. There is a picture of a small building with a simple sign that says Ballantine’s over the wooden door at the top of the stairs. Posing comfortably for the camera are 14 Scotsmen, most holding the simple tools they use to make the rare Highland Whisky at Ballantine’s distillery in Elgin, Scotland. The headline says “14 Scotsmen and how they make Ballantine’s, the bright, right Scotch” and the caption under the picture identifies each and every man and mentions the job title he holds. The text mentions that this is just one of the “42 high-grade whiskies that are harmonized to make Ballantine’s sunny-light flavor” and claims that each man is using skills that have been passed down from generation to generation.
