VAT 69

An awesome whisky. I have been enjoying this since 2001,have drank many a litre at rock festivals A++++ a quality drink

I too found out about this through Band of Brothers but I cant wait to try it! Plus I think its really arrogant to say 'I have known about this for years' and 'I didnt find out about this through Band of Brothers' who cares! You have to find out about it somehow, you weren't born with VAT69 lodged in your brain! Sorry, rant over.

wow what a good whiskey there is only one whiskey and that is scotish,others may be ok i have been up to tobermory and had some good sessions up there well worth it try drinking it in the land where it comes from wow !

we friend just ordered a bottle, for me its my 1st time to try it. I cant just wait!!!

Vat 69 is one of the brands kept behind the Lounge Bar in Fawlty Towers.

anonymous from Oct '11: before you attacked the "fishing expedition" commenter, maybe you should have actually understood what he said. WE are the ones he meant were on the expedition. All he said was that it was in the show; he said nothing concerning the accuracy of it. Before you admonish somebody to "learn their facts" maybe you should learn a bit of reading comprehension? Anyway... I'm very interested to try this, which is how I found the page. Good to know it's not cost prohibitive.

Im ordering 8 bottles for my brother my cuz and myself we have wanted to try it for awhile so we cant wait to try it

VAT 69 is a very nice basic blended whisky.Simple,yes,but very enjoyable one.VAT 69 is sweet,smooth and medium bodied whisky with no alcohol burn. Best straight and neat.I any case i would buy VAT 69 over Bell`s and Grants family reserve.

It wasn't a "fishing expedition" it was historical fact. LT. Nix's favorite whiskey to quench his drinking problem was Vat 69, my great uncle was in the 506 with him and remembered that fact clearly. Learn your facts people.

I've had a good deal of different whiskeys, tried each region apart from Japanese, and Vat 69 was pretty good. Not my favorite, but for a 'common' whiskey it is very good. I prefer Ardbeg 10y... thats some reeal stuff.

I much prefer to see a full one.

a good scotch whisky!! try it!!

A full flavour and big mouthfeel but something a bit cheap and oversweet and cloyingly synthetic about it. In the same price range Teachers is equally full flavoured but much better balanced and Grant's is blander but more authentic and innofensive. Unless you are about to be shot to bits in a bunker and can't get hold of anything better I would say VAT 69 is best avoided.

I am 64 years old and remember VAT 69 as one of the most popular brands in the UK in the 50's

a famous old brand alright. i am currently sipping a bottle of vat 69 which my late grandfather, then a german air force officer, brought home from france in 1940 after the british had left it behind as they fled via dunkirk. it survived untouched in my family’s cellar for seven decades. a cool old bottle, the seal had long fallen off and the cork fell to dust as i tried to pull it. great old whisky and seems more smokey/peaty than i think i remember today’s vat 69. might get one to compare…

Vat 69 was the adopted whiskey for HMS Bacchante pennant number 'F69' a Leander Class Frigate of the Royal Navy. Now a reef off of New Zealand. We had free bottles issued on a visit to the distilery minature for your sailor then ranging in size as it went up the ranks. The captain got a bloody big bottle. We also had a Vat 69 Battle Flag on the ship. A good driniking whiskey

brillient whisky i bought a bottle the other day and now wish i bought two ,it's incredibly smooth with great caramel notes and rich cream taste.at the end of the day its the best so if you haven't tried it BUY SOME NOW!!!

The best malt mix ever produced. Yes it did make it's highest debut from the series "band of brothers", but it was of my father's and grandfather's favorites. Best straight and neat, never on the rocks, and never mixed.

"Imperial Trans-Atlantic Expedition?"It was the Imperial Trans-ANTARCTIC Expedition.Sheesh.

The 501st was in bad Kreuznach Germany until they moved around 2000 or so. I was in it but got out prior to their move oh by the way they are part of the 1AD
