Well read. Some of reviews and I have a hunch nobody imagine The house of vat 69 produced and blended this Mal
Full rounded whisky by distillers from originally vat 69 used to work for them this is a tried tested and trusted malt first produced in 1974/1975.

Great for cold winter days
In my opinion the best deluxe blend on the market

Well balanced, complex but not sweet
Very good blended scotch. Evenly balanced sweetness, salt and bitterness. Peaty, smokey start, peat, nuts, citrus on the aftertaste. It is complex, lots of different notes and it will taste a lot better with couple of drops of water and some resting time in the glass (I usually leave mine for about 10-15 min). Overall I would suggest this to everyone who likes their beverages a bit more complex and not too sweet. Also it would work great as an introduction to peaty whiskies.
This blend compares and beats many well aged single malts on the market. And the price is just too sweet not to get it.

Versatile and interesting
This is one of the most interesting blends I've tasted. I would probably not have chosen this bottle in the store, but I was so lucky as to get the remainder of a bottle from a tasting. Tasting notes given by others so I'll add nothing new. It's really pleasant to sniff and sip. Smooth and rich and with a good finish. A wee bit water sweetens it up a tad.
This also does very well in an Old Fashioned.
