Vat 69 advert
1963
(text from ad): David Merrick gives a backstage party ... and serves Vat 69, the light Scotch you'll recommend tomorrow. This world famous theatrical producer of the smash Broadway hit musical Oliver! knows what pleases his discerning friends. It's the rare combination of lightness and satisfying character offered only by a truly classic Scotch. Have you tried Vat 69 lately?
