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.
Having VAT 69 and loving it
I'm having a drink right now, really not bad considering the price (7,79€).
i first had this when i was in a trip with my friends,its really worth to pay for it.
a magnificent blend. As the last Plant Manager of the South Queensferry Plant I can vouch for its quality. Sadly Diageo dont rate it highly enough to invest in the UK market.
i have a bottle V69 in the house from menstrie distillery 25 years ago for safe keeping.
