Vat 69 Circa 1960s

A great condition old bottle of Vat 69 which seems to have been produced for the export market but ending up sold at retail in the UK. 

Created by William Sanderson & Son Ltd, the whisky was first bottled in Port bottles.

The name comes from William Sanderson getting a panel of experts to judge 100 casks of blended whisky, Vat 69 was the winner and turned into the brand name. Sanderson bought Glen Garioch and helped found North British distillery. 

The iconic bottle has made numerous film and TV appearances no doubt down to it's distinctive look. 

This bottle was consigned as part of a single collection all purchased at Hay & Son Ltd. Whisky Auctioneer Ltd received this bottle in it's original Vendor Packaging including Hay & Son branded bottle wrapping paper. This has been removed for the purpose of photographing but can be provided to the buyer upon request. Please note that vendor packaging is not considered part of the Lot and is provided for the sake of provenance only. As such it's condition is not considered to reflect upon the value of the Lot.

Hay & Son Ltd. was a prominent Yorkshire based Wine and Spirits merchants, blenders and independent bottlers. Founded in 1829 the firm operated 20 stores at it's hight but sadly closed it's doors in 1970.
