Although not exclusively clad in Ivy apparel, the dapper gentlemen depicted here display some familiar elements: natural shoulders, button-down collars, club collars, narrow ties, narrow lapels. All while heartily enjoying their alcohol and the company of other nicely-attired gentlemen.
Nothing screams "good whisk(e)y" better than locker room drinks with a man sporting just a towel.
Of note: The distilled spirits industry did not use women to advertise their products until 1959, and Glenmore was, reportedly, the first to break with this tradition.

Well, there is some good news...despite it being a flip-flop, cargo-short, backwards-ball-cap world, you can still enjoy Kentucky Tavern. I saw it in my local liquor store just the other day.
The gent standing in the first ad looks timeless - grey suit, pink button-down, black tie.
I really, really like the "Bon voyage" look - club collar with tattersall vest.
Love the ads, but I think the liquor is probably horrible.
Good point, Donald. Beer ads are now populated with juvenile Neanderthals. What happened to men with a little class?
