Description
Full color 5 1/2″ X 12 1/2″ ad for Vat 69 Blended Scotch Whisky. This ad has the headline that says that “One Scotch Stands Out. The lighter…drier…smoother Scotch”. The text after this, referring to a group of maritime signal flags under that, say that ” These maritime signal flags speak an international language. They spell VAT SIXTY NINE…the world famous name that means lighter, drier, smoother Scotch. In VAT 69 you will find all the good things of Scotch at their very best”. Interspersed in with the flags is a bottle of VAT 69 standing there, so proud. It may be a minor thing on my part but the signal flags do only spell “VAT SIX NINE”.
