The two bottles in this advertisement point to Buchanan's, the Scotch whisky firm that James Buchanan founded in London in the 1880s and that became one of the best-known blended whisky brands of its era. Blended Scotch was sold largely on its consistency and recognizable branding, so ads like this one leaned on the bottles themselves as the main selling point. Buchanan's later became closely associated with its "Black & White" label, which featured two Scottish terriers, so the paired bottles are worth a closer look for how the company built its identity around matching images.
