Ah, the 1980s Vat 69—a time capsule of blended Scotch from an era when subtlety and softness were prized over punch. This vintage expression retains the hallmark character of William Sanderson’s original 1882 blend, chosen from 100 vattings for its balance and drinkability. Here's a full sensory breakdown:
