Dewar's White Label was a blended Scotch whisky, and this advertisement pairs its name with a kilted piper, a figure that did much of the selling for Scotch in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The bagpiper signaled Highland tradition and gave the brand a national identity that could travel well beyond Scotland. Dewar's built its reputation on blends like this one, and the "Victoria Vat" name in the title points to a special aged blend marketed as a prestige product. Pictures like this one show how whisky makers used heritage imagery to persuade buyers that a bottle carried history along with its flavor.
