Special Features:

VAT 69 combines malt and grain whiskies in a Scotch blend with no age statement. Its character brings together sweet cereal notes, pear and peppery spice. Bottled at 40% alcohol, it comes in a bottle containing 0.7 litres.

The number in the name comes from the selection of a blend: William Sanderson arranged a tasting of 100 different blends. Blend number 69 was chosen. The name therefore recalls a tasting decision, not the whisky's age.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: On the nose, sweet barley malt and cereal meet caramel and pear. A little spice rounds out the aromas.
  • Palate: Barley malt and pear also appear on the palate, joined by fruity sweetness, a slight biscuit note and peppery spice.
  • Finish: The finish is malty and salty, accompanied by light smoke.

Distillery/Bottler:

William Sanderson began his career in the wine and spirits trade in Leith. After his apprenticeship, he established his own business, which began producing liqueurs and whisky blends in 1863. His son William Mark joined the business in 1880 and encouraged the sale of their own blends in bottles. VAT 69 was launched in 1882 and was initially sold in port wine bottles.

Sanderson also had links to whisky production: the family acquired Glen Garioch in 1884, and Royal Lochnagar supplied malt whisky for their blends. Today, VAT 69 belongs to Diageo.
