The Churtons V.O.B.G. Very Old Blended Scotch Whisky is a rare and evocative blend, bottled in the 1960s–1970s by Churtons Ltd., with distribution across Glasgow, Liverpool, and London.
The initials “V.O.B.G.” are believed to stand for Very Old Blended Glenlivet, suggesting a
Speyside-heavy malt composition and a nod to prestige branding of the era.
