Description
Full color 9 3/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad that is for Black Velvet Blended Canadian Whisky. The ad has a picture that shows a bottle of Black Velvet standing there next to what they call “The Black Velvet Drum. A little extra we dreamed-up”. The ad then asks, “Is it fair to compare Black Velvet with America’s largest-selling whiskies? We’re willing to put our money on your nose. So do this. Sniff. Black Velvet versus a sniff of any of America’s big name whiskies. Our blend of expensive Canadian whiskies tastes so light and smooth you can actually smell the difference. Our idea is simple. Make a whiskey good enough to give American whiskey drinkers a place to go. Will they make the move, when Black Velvet costs a little more? America, lend us your nose”.
