Description
VAT 69 Blended Scotch Whisky 1L, 40% is a long-established blended Scotch whisky with roots going back to 1882, when William Sanderson selected the winning blend from nearly one hundred numbered casks. The whisky takes its name from the cask, or vat, numbered 69, and today it remains known as a dependable blended Scotch built from around 40 different malt and grain whiskies.
In this 1 litre format, VAT 69 offers the same easy-going house style in a bottle that is especially practical for regular home use, entertaining, and simple whisky serves. The profile shown across current product descriptions is smooth and rounded rather than heavily smoky, with spice, caramel, barley malt, pear, and a lightly woody finish shaping the character.
