VAT 69 Blend Bottling Note

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.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

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.

VAT 69 Blended Scotch Whisky Reviews

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.

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.

Smooth character, a blend to keep on hand always

Vat 69 is a good dependable blend which personally I prefer over Johnny W black label. The pepper and woody notes come out just late enough after you've had a chance to enjoy the pear drop/barley water palette. Drink of choice for a 101st Airborne Captain, what else to say.

Great value whiskey

Originally, I bought one bottle only because I saw it in Band of Brothers. Now, it's my go-to whiskey to share with my buddies during reenactment events. I tried several other whiskeys in same price category, but it was all barely drinkable. This is actually quite nice and easy to drink, even neat. Nowadays, I always have at least one bottle of VAT69 at home and ready to go!

Great value whisky ...really surprised me

I love a great whisky .... so when lockdown in South Africa started and a ban on alcohol was enforced , i could not stock up on the expensive brands. Vat 69 surprised me. You have to let it breathe ... perfect stretched with a club soda on a lazy sunday afternoon.

Excellent everyday nip

Drinking this in Spain bought for bargain at under 8 Euros a bottle. This used to be part of DCL’s stable. Still excellent. This (along with Dewar’s and Teacher’s) is a favourite. Excellent in a rusty nail or whisky Mac.
