We even cast aside a new, handmade ageing barrel when the char doesn't equal a prescribed 3/22". By not pinching pennies, we've succeeded in making a Bourbon others have moved heaven and earth to match since 1882.

Filled except for the drops that have spilled over the side onto the countertop. The ad has several points of interest brought to our attention though. The first is pointed to the word "Bonded" and, it claims, that "History lesson: in 1897, Congress passed the Bottled-In-Bond Act which established the standards for Old Grand-Dad and other Bonded whiskeys". Then, it is highlighting the "100 Proof" on the label and it claims that "100 is perfect. Bonded Bourbon must be 100 proof. No more. No less". Then, it brings our attention to the "Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey" on the label and it claims that "Old Grand-Dad Bonded is southern Kentucky sour-mash Bourbon, made with clear limestone-water". Then, our attention is brought to the top. "Only Bonded whiskeys have a green tax stamp. Its your guarantee that the whiskey is at least four years old". Then, at last, we have the shot glass. It says "Final exam. You need only one sip to recognize the clearly superior quality and taste of Old Grand-Dad. Cheers!". |

This ad also has some ad text in the ad. "So ultra-smooth, so remarkable in taste, all-new Old Sunny Brook has gone beyond mere smoothness...beyond any whiskey you've ever tasted before! Here's why. A new approach in blending - an extra process adopted after years of research - rounds the edges off this all-new Old Sunny Brook, rounds out its body, brightens its taste. Proof is that in an extensive, carefully supervised taste test 6783 men and women voted this Old Sunny Brook tops among all popular blends. In fact, it's so superior in every way, we designed the smart new "contempo" bottle just to hold it. People say it's the greatest Old Sunny Brook since 1891. So do we. So will you.

From the outside, it looks like a castle. Col. Taylor built it like that back in 1887. And ever since, it's kept us on our toes. Because when you make Bourbon in a castle, it's got to be some Bourbon. Old Taylor is just that. And we want to keep it that way. So we still draw our limestone water from the same spring the Colonel discovered in 1887. We still tend our mash every bit as tenderly as he did. We still use the same costly small grains he insisted upon. And we must be doing our job well. More people drink Old Taylor than any other premium-priced Bourbon in the country. Sure, a castle is an extraordinary place to make Bourbon. But then there's nothing ordinary about our Bourbon". |

Using the first part of the label they explain how Col. Edmund H. Taylor, Jr. was the foremost Bourbon distiller in the late 1800's, Next they explain the yellow label as the way that old Taylor made it difficult for imitators. The drawing on the label that shows where it is distilled is not a castle but near a delicious limestone spring that the Colonel discovered in 1887. The signature of the Colonel appears on each bottle as another way to avoid imitation and the last important part of the label is the words "of topmost class". This expression of another time remains because the unique methods and materials that were used are still in use even today. |
