"No matter what it takes” was the philosophy, Sir William Sanderson followed all his life blending the finest quality Scotch Whiskies in specially bonded warehouses under his personal supervision. When it came to choosing his best blend back in 1882, William went a step ahead & decided to put a hundred of his best blends through a gruelling tasting test judged by the best whisky experts of his time in Scotland. VAT numbered 69 beat all the other blends to become what is today THE FAMOUS "VAT69”.
