Today’s bourbon ad is a little different. This 1969 ad is a mashup between Old Grand-Dad bourbon and Eastern Airlines. They use the fact that all whiskeys cost the same on an airplane to convince people to try Old Grand-Dad and stick with it once they’re back on the ground. Don’t know how successful the ad was but I applaud their creativity on this one. Here’s the actual text from the ad since I wasn’t able to find a larger version to share.

**At 30,000 feet, eve the most expensive whiskey costs no more. We suspect that a goodly number of air passengers are seizing the opportunity to try Grand-Dad. And responding to the smoothness that has made it the classic American whiskey. On the ground, Grand-Dad does cost more. Yet it’s still outdistancing the rest of the Bourbon family. It just proves that some people know value no matter where they are.*

Good stuff! Now, if I could only go back in time when they charged a $1 for a bottle of whiskey on an airplane.

Hell, I’d even dress up for the occasion. Cheers!
