So "VATS 69"....

The collection started in 2001 when the historically correct movie BAND OF BROTHERS was made. In WWII officers were allotted a bottle of whiskey, the supply ships from the US were carrying vital military cargo of which whiskey was not a part of.  Supplies for the allotments came from Britain and VAT 69 was considered one of the finest. The whisky was at first bottled in port bottles (1882) and was not changed for the next hundred years.

There are 16 items in the collection. The items presented are the most interesting ones. 

1.  Vintage VAT 69 Crate
2. Port style large VAT 69 bottle
3. Port style liter medium VAT 69 bottle
4. Port style 28 ml small VAT 69 bottle
