| Interesting how the advertisement boasts about the gold medal the Galley Brand whisky received for excellence way back in 1892 |

Wonder if ISWC was giving out 336 awards per session for whisky then?

It shows you that whisky has had a lot of marketing behind it for a long time now and the unfamiliar will always use these awards as a guide. |
