Sunny Brook Kentucky Whiskey

When I hear "Sunny Brook", I don't think of fine Kentucky Whiskey. I think of an institution with high walls, razor wire, and a staff of nice (brawny) fellows in white coats supervising recreational activities. In fact, the copy in this ad could be for Sunny Brook the institution and Sunny Brook the blended whiskey. Regardless, I'm pretty sure the codger in the ad should be in the former and shouldn't be drinking the latter.


Sunny Brook was bought by Jim Beam in 1987 and the brand still is available. Jim Beam must have been in a buying mood that year, because they bought another brand with an ad that showed up in the same magazine. Jim Beam eventually sold Old Taylor to the Sazerac Company.
