Rye is the best whiskey:-
 1t is pure, old, rich and mellow and is never bottled until it is 15 years old.
 1t stimulates and invigorates.
 It is aged by time and, therefore, it is natures pleasant tonic. 1t con tains no foreign sweetening matter and, therefore, does not ferment or make sour stomach.
 1t does not burn when you drink it., thereby proving that it is chemically pure.
 1t Is aged by nature, viz, light, heat, air and age.
 It was drank years ago by our Fore fathers, and they knew pure whiskey was the best.
