Renowned for its smooth and accessible character, VAT 69 is a masterful blend of approximately 40 different malt and grain whiskies. This “rugged but canny” Scotch has a storied past, having accompanied Sir Ernest Shackleton on his Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition and featured prominently as a favorite in classic pop culture.

Tasting Profile:

• Aroma: Inviting hints of spice and caramel with barley malt and a soft wheat character.

• Palate: A well-rounded symphony of ground almonds, sweet malt, and subtle pear notes with a touch of pepper.

• Finish: A smooth, woody, and spiced finish with lingering caramel.

Best Served: VAT 69 is incredibly versatile—enjoy it neat, with a splash of water to release its aromas, or as a robust base for a classic Rob Roy cocktail.
