Old Vat Ultra Premier Blended Whisky is a premium Indian blend from DeVANS Modern Breweries, the makers of Godfather Beer and GianChand Single Malt. Despite frequent confusion with Vat 69, Old Vat is a completely independent Indian whisky with its own identity and loyal following.
The name “Old Vat” reflects the vatting process, where selected malts and grain spirits are married in large vats to achieve balance and smoothness. Positioned above mass-market blends, Old Vat targets drinkers who want less harshness, more body, and consistent quality at a reasonable price.
