The third batch in the acclaimed Tun 1401 series from The Balvenie. This no-age-statement expression is a vatting of ten casks from the distillery's Warehouse 24 (seven hogsheads and three sherry butts) which have been married for several months in Tun 1401.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Rich and oaky with an abundance of oak tannin, dried fruits, beeswax and old leather. A little water brings out lighter, more delicate floral notes and green, leafy aromas.
Luxurious and deep with many layers of vanilla oak, oily tannins, rich woody spices and sweet fruits. The initial sweetness gradually develops into deeper, richer oak and is interspersed with bursts of cinnamon, nutmeg, citrus and dark chocolate.
Exceptionally long and oaky.
