Few liquor ads from the early twentieth century paired a bottle with thoroughbred racing the way this one does, placing the Cream of Kentucky brand alongside horses that stand for the state's signature sport. Bourbon was closely tied to Kentucky's distilling towns and its bluegrass horse farms, and advertisers often borrowed the prestige of the track to suggest quality and good living. Notice how the image trades on that association rather than on the product itself. Early whiskey advertising was loosely regulated, so brands leaned hard on imagery of horses, gentlemen and leisure to set themselves apart from competitors.
