“If you want a grainy, yet a citrusy classic blend, this is for you. Mildly peaty and lemony with smell, including a minor amount of campfire, seasalt and bitter almonds. The taste is fresh and powerfully juicy. Lots of lemon and walnuts. Minor dry aftertaste salty almonds come at it albeit the profile is minor. Very quick finish but not a bad one. Pure, almost. Leaves you craving another sip after it has dried your mouth. Absolutely a classic of its own and a great banger in cocktails, such as Rob Roy, or in my case a classic Boulevardier. I personally however love to drink this neat, but if you want to do it on the rocks, that's fine. I'd however add some lemon peel to ensure the taste goes to the max. Vat 69 is a cheap, yet easily approachable blended whisky with a reasonable reputation which has not tainted the spirit itself. Do not expect anything complex, but do not let it deter you to give yourself a courageous try with this emerald-glassed classic. It is ready for you; are you for it?”

Description

Click here to check out our range of antique bottles of VAT 69.

A famous and very popular blended whisky, Vat 69 comes with a great deal of history. It was first made in 1882 by William Sanderson - a liquor manufacturer from Leith, Scotland. To create the perfect blend, Sanderson made up 100 different vattings of whisky and hired a panel of expert whisky tasters to select the finest one. They chose the 69th vatting, thus the name, Vat 69. Blended using forty different malt and grain whiskies, this is a smooth, balanced spirit and a perennial favourite with blend drinkers.

Nose

Hints of spice and caramel, notes of barley malt, with a soft wheat character. A touch of pear juice.

Palate

Ground almonds and barley malt. Slightly biscuity, more of those pear notes, a little pepper. Sweet, rounded.

Finish

Woody, spiced finish. Caramel.

Overall

Simple, easy-going stuff. If you're looking for a dependable blend, this is an excellent choice.

Great stuff

Absolutely love this whiskey. One of my favorite blends. Shame it's not in the original style bottle though. Wish it was back in stock. Come Master of Malt. Get some more

Charming blend, great basis for Rob Roy cocktails

I am a big fan of blended whiskey and I´ve tried a good number in the last two or three years. Vat 69 is definitely better than both Famous Grouse and the vastly over-rated JW Red. I am not sure how it compares to the JW black. On its own I find it a little medicinal and harsh with honey, caramel and vague smoky notes. However, I mix it it with red vermouth and then it makes for a really lovely base; it´s quite a transformation. I´ve made dry Rob Roys (using Chazelette dry vermouth) and a perfect Rob Roy (50:50 Chazalettes and O. Matter rosso vermouth) and also a Rob Roy with Cocchio red vermouth. All of them were delightful and I think the Vat 69 worked really well lending a lovely whiskey structure to the mix. So, on balance, yes to Vat 69. It´s a bit of a charmer.

Value for your money

Absolutely the best value for money when it comes to whiskey.

Master of Malt Customer Oct 22, 2021

Oh it's lovely!

The tasting note of the chaps of master of malt are spot on using bohemia cristal tasting glass. I put this toe to toe with old smuggler that is a noter great tasting low cost scotch.
