Matured at one of the oldest warehouses at The Balvenie Distillery, The Balvenie Tun 1401, Batch 9 is a skillful marriage of some of the rarest treasures from the distillery’s Warehouse 24. This latest batch of Tun 1401 represents an unrepeatable selection of spirits sourced from eleven traditional whisky casks and three sherry butts, whose ages span a number of decades, and which have all been hand-selected by Stewart. The whisky rested for several months in Tun 1401 – one of the distillery’s unique marrying vessels – to create a single malt that is greater than its already precious parts. NOSE: Honey, herbal, vanilla and some caster sugar as well as lemon and chamomile tea PALATE: Rich, sweet and thick, lemon zest, strawberries and raspberries FINISH: Sticky fruit oils, waxy, oak
