Read it and weep

Bell's Whisky tells a literary tale.

It seems alcohol beverage brands these days are more interested in telling stories than showing off their product. Regular readers of stimulant will recall Guinness teaching us about the Sapeurs or showing us what friends are for, or perhaps most pertinent, Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey’s ballad to friendship. Now add to that Bell’s Whisky, which along with South African agency King James, is telling us a tale of a man who is determined to learn to read. Like in the Tullamore Dew spot, you’ll have to wait until the end to get a good look at the bottle and to get the full story. If you want to go behind-the-scenes, watch the video below.
