Old whiskey advertisements

Postby rathbeggan » Wed Mar 18, 2015 10:40 pm

I have some ads for Bushmills from the early 70s and Redbreast from the early 80s which I have scanned and was going to post here, but apparently files with a .pdf suffix are not allowed. Could one of the admins assist or advise, please? Thanks.

Bushmills Add taken from the Derry Journal 5/11/1971

Likewise as regards assistance in posting photos. Have attempted to do so in
the past but not succeeded. Perhaps a 'HOW TO' thread could be added as
photos greatly enhance the contents of what's posted !!

Usually you can get PDF to jpeg converts free online. However I find the easist option to convert any image to jpeg is to use windows snipping tool.

You can grab images from web pages also.

Thanks Adrian! I only had hard copies or pdfs of these, I have a few more which I will put up, though they're not as interesting as these.

They're great old adverts.
I really like the 2 Redbreasts, the difference in labels and colour of the whiskey.

The first Bushmills one is very curious too. I didn't think they were advertising the 1608 until the 80's.
I'm assuming the 1276 is a misprint too, or have they found relative of Strongbow holding a empty bottle of Bushmills and added a few more years to the history!
