Philadelphia
The Heritage Whisky

"Although the wind blew very fresh...
we reigned Lord High Admirals of the Delaware...
no boat could hold way with us"...

from John Fitch's own account of his trial trip.

Great achievements develop in a vigorous society seeking better ways of life. Such was the background of Colonial Philadelphia, a natural setting for many of our great American traditions. As for example, the "heritage of hospitality" for which Philadelphia has long been proclaimed. Today admirably sustained by a great whisky, Philadelphia Blend. Rich in quality and flavor worthy of its splendid background...a whisky for special occasions, yet one you can afford to enjoy, regularly and often.
