Vat 69 Blended Scotch Whisky

Whisky number 7 in my current batch of 12 blends. Nose: Sherry, predominantly. Some hints of a light fruitiness and a distant briny note. Palate: Rather flat and vacant on the whole. Some cereal notes - I'd say malt if I was being generous. Again a hint of brine and some restrained fruit. Finish: Short, with a slight touch of tannic bitterness. Relatively uninteresting and of best use as a mixer. Dilution brings out a light apple note and some further sweetness on the palate, but it's restrained. There's not anything actively unpleasant about it - there's just not a lot at all and it is not quite as good as Bell's Original or Cutty Sark. The equal most generic whisky of the affordable blends so far, along with J&B Rare, but not afflicted with the sour notes that haunt Famous Grouse and Grant's Family Reserve. "Adequate" : 70/100 (2 stars)

nose: thin, but pleasent, fruity ; palete: wow! unexpected maltiness, sweet, fresh, lager beer in background, red apples, milk chocolate, orange marmelade, touch of honey; truly rich blend

Nothing about this whisky is as bad as its label. Not as fun as its name (wink wink) either, but lemony, light and useful when needed.

I got interested by BOB. But it didnt live up to my expectations. Pretty flat whisky. Legs are weak and nose is nothing much.

Just like J&B Rare, only way I can drink this one is if it is in a cocktail.

Cheapcheap and light. With some ice its drinkable,not that bad for 10$/1l
