Advert Lucky Dip: Sep 1963: Red Label Scotch Whisky ad from Johnnie Walker (more at @OldUKPrintAds.bsky.social) «Advance, Friend, and be recognised»

This is an advertisement for Johnnie Walker Red Label Scotch Whisky. It highlights the blending process, the importance of tradition, and the unique characteristics of the product. It also describes Johnnie Walker's famous bottle shape and packaging. Advance, Friend, and be recognised ASK GEORGE THOMSON. He's an expert. George Thomson is the chief blender at Johnnie Walker.

When you come to think of it, it's odd that Johnnie Walker did very well without its well-loved symbol for the best part of 90 years. Perhaps the moral is that good whisky needs no bush! The man who knocks Johnnie Walker Once a week John Niven, head warehouseman at a Speyside dis- tillery, taps every cask in his care with a wooden hammer. The sound alone tells him whether the whisky is still properly sealed in the cask. A great whisky can't be hurried- from the malt-floor to the...
