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.
Hints of spice and caramel, notes of barley malt, with a soft wheat character. A touch of pear juice.
Ground almonds and barley malt. Slightly biscuity, more of those pear notes, a little pepper. Sweet, rounded.
Woody, spiced finish. Caramel.
Simple, easy-going stuff. If you're looking for a dependable blend, this is an excellent choice.
I don't care what you haters say, VAT 69 is an outstanding Scotch. I had never tasted it until just now, after reading some of the reviews. I expected a taste of swill, judging from the negative reviews, but was remarkably surprised by the smooth, sweet taste I encountered. DELICIOUS... As a side note, this bottle I cracked open tonight, was very hard to come by. Couldn't find it in California, London, France, Belgium...I took a " Band of Brothers" Tour to honer the 101st, Air Bourne Division, which was amazing and I highly recommend to those who feel the same, and have seen the HBO series countless times as I have.... So, three weeks ago, I was in a little tobacco shop in Stuttgart. I looked up on the shelf and there it was, a 21Euro bottle of VAT 69. I couldn't believe my eyes. If you are a fan of the show, you understand my exuberance. I will enjoy every drop of this and will share it only with those who are worthy. Get some for yourself, that's all I can say. CURAHEE.... Cpt. Acosta in California.
