Behold, the seventh batch of Balvenie Tun 1509! A hugely popular series of expressions from the distillery, named after the tun in which the whisky is married for three months before bottling up. This particular edition was made using whisky drawn from 21 hand-picked casks, including ten sherry butts, seven sherry hogsheads and four American oak barrels. Following its marrying period, it was bottled up at 52.4% ABV.
Tasting Note by The Producer
Rich and deep on the nose with lots of exotic yet elegant oak notes. Complex, rich and slightly peppery on the palate with candied orange peel, lashings of vanilla, layers of honeycomb, toasted hazelnuts with some spicy ginger and nutmeg to finish.
