The Dewar's "White Label" text panel is a piece of advertising ephemera from the brand's long campaign to sell its blended Scotch whisky, which the company named after the white label on its bottles. Such panels carried slogans and copy meant to be read at a glance on shop walls, posters and hoardings, so they show how the whisky was pitched to drinkers. Worth noticing is the way the wording relies on short, confident claims about quality and blending rather than pictures of the distillery, a style typical of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century liquor advertising.
