Vat 69 is a Scotch blended whisky manufactured by William Sanderson & Son Limited of South Queensferry West Lothian Scotland now part of Diageo. In 1882 William Sanderson prepared one hundred casks of blended whisky and hired a panel of experts to taste them. The batch from the cask (or “vat”) with number 69 was judged to be the best and this provided the whisky’s brand name. The whisky was at first bottled in Port bottles.
